Please write us about anything—our mountains, climate or summer resorts, but especially about plants, native plants, and we may interest you. Our facilities are broad and territory large. And remem-

ber, we are the largest growers and collectors of Hardy Native Ornamentals exclusively in this country, and ~ our stock this season is especially fine and strong.

Soil, Planting and Care of Native Plants.

The Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and most other plants herein named are hardy generally throughout the U.S and with proper care in preparation of soil and planting may be grown successfully. They thrive best in rich, peaty soils and partially shaded situations. A good soil can be made by excavating two to three feet of the sur- face, and filling with equal parts of good leaf-mold or other decayed vegetable matter and surface loam, with one- tenth or more of sharp sand. Swamp muck or field sod may be used. Mulching (spent tan, moss, leaves, hay, etc.) is always useful, and necessary where the ground is very dry. Lime in any form is fatal to Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and ericaceous plants in general. As a rule, give all plants a deep soil, with plenty of well-decayed vegetable food and good dranage, and the results will be satisfactory. : :

Our Location,

At the summit of the Carolina mountains, nearly 4,000 feet towards the clouds, insures long, cool summers and moderate winters, which is very favorable to the growth of these beautiful native ornamentals, and produces a hardy stock—an important point with Northern planters.

For years the Highlands Nursery has been growing and pushing forward native plants exclusively, and it is extremely gratifying to us to be made aware of the rapidly-increasing demand for them, especially the past season. We anticipate, however, much larger sales, and are prepared with an exceedingly large and fine stock, to which constant additions are being made. y:

Hardy Native Deciduous Ornamental Trees For Park, Lawn, Cemetery, Nursery, Street.

“In the Weekly Tribune, Mr. Josiah Hoopes takes strong grounds in favor of native American trees, on the ground that they are less liable to disease in our climate, longer lived, and more beautiful and useful as a class than their foreign relatives.’ —SENEX.

ACER. (llaple.)

These, among the finest of all street and shade trees, need no general recommendation, as the enormous numbers that are planted yearly bespeak their own landscape value and popularity.

MAGNOLIA.

The Magnolias must be classed among the most effective of all ornamentals, combining as they do, rapid, clean growth with the handsomest of large foliage and great wax-like flowers, usually overcharged with a peculiar and exquisite odor, and later on with a covering of brilliant scarlet cucumdber-shaped fruit. For scenic effect otr native species will bear favorably a critical comparison with the finest foreign ones, while to the American planter they possess the overwhelming advantage of being an indigenous growth, free from disease, and (with the excep- tion of the Grvandifiorc) hardy throughout the states.

Hardy Evergreen Trees.

Asaclass, our Native American Evergreens are without doubt far beyond comparison with tbose of foreign countries, possessing unrivalled characteristics of gracefulness, grandeur or color. Our Alleghany region, while claiming possibly fewer species than the Western and Pacific states, is yet rich in beautiful forms, and we can boast of at least one distinct new species of conifer, found nowhere else, and here only very locally, namely, the Carolina Hemlock (saga Caroliniana). Below we give a short description of each in proper order :

ILEX OPACA (American Holly).

This is without doubt one of the most beautiful and indispensable of allievergreens in landscape work. The growth is thick and heavy, assuming a dense, picturesque, cone shape, while the sharp, prickly foliage is always in most beautiful contrast to the surrounding leafage or the winter aspect of lawn and park, as well as forming a con= spicuous background for the brilliant scarlet berries which cover it in fall and early winter. This beautiful Holly is always in demand, and I would call the special attention of all nurserymen and planters to our heavy stock o fine plants. (See sizes and prices on page 10.)

This rare species comes from the coast of Carolina, and may not be perfectly hardy all over the North, though it will stand zero weather without apparent injury. It is, however, an elegant shrub or small tree, with small, smooth,crenate or scalloped leaves.

Hardy Native Deciduous Shrubs.

One of the most interesting and important features of our varied mountain flora is the large list of beautiful hardy shrubs, deciduous and evergreen, which are so lavishly placed for use within our easy reach, not, we trust, ro undergo the ofttimes blighting and prosaic effect of ‘aming, but to come with all their own fresh, native, delicate tracery and tints of leaf and flower, lending (and at so little cost) that enchanting natural beauty to our garden architecture so sought after by all lovers of nature, and attained so rarely, th . best landscape professionals ¢hrough these means. ;

I would not needlessly enumerate the long list of particularly desirable shrubs, but feel it is not out of place here to make special mention of a few which are exceptionally worthy the attention of every landscape garcener

ough oftener more recently, by our

and park and cemetery official, as well as nurseryman and florist, in this country and abroad: The AzAvgzas, with their masses of éri/liant, pure colors and delightful fragrance; the ANDROMEDAS and Leucotua@s, fringed with their panicles of tinted Je//-flowers; the dense-foliaged CaLycaNnTHUs, whose abundant, chocolate-colored flowers emit such a peculiar, fruity odor; the SruarTIAs, covered with large, showy flowers—the ‘‘xative American Camellia”; ViIBURNUMS, the large leaves coloring so richly at first hint of autumn; the Cu1ionantTuUs, drooping its delicate, white, fringe-like racemes, overcharged with a wild perfume; and the little hardy XANTHORHIza, its peculiar, modest brown flowers in pendulous racemes below the conspicuous pinnate leaves, which color a bright orange in autumn.

The RuopopENDRoNS and Katmias, however, might well claim the lead in shrub ornamentals, combining, as they do, the dark, broad, evergreen foliage with their profuse trusses of brilliant-stamened flowers. Massed or singly, they possess at all seasons a special charm of their own, and we know of no ornamentals, native or exotic, that can take their well-earned place in gardening. Then, for yellow effects we might name the Hyprricums, DiER- vitiAs and HAMAMELIS, but will cut short the list and give a brief description of each in order.
