BOXFORD NURSERY 


THIS IS A PRICED CATALOG of my Boxford Nursery, 
located at Boxford, Mass. Here may be seen growing the choicest 
collection of Specimen Nursery Stock, selected for the most discrim- 
inating buyers. Special attention is given to Hardy Native Material, 
which must always be the basis of successful permanent 
plantings. 


SPECIMEN STOCK. There is a growing demand for fine 
specimen stock in Conifers, Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Andromedas, 
and other evergreens, and my Boxford Nursery is established to sup- 
ply just this need which has been felt so long. 


PRICES are made to fit the quality of stock sent out. Few 
realize that the real value of nursery stock is largely underground. 
Frequent transplanting, and handling specimens with adequate bur- 
laped balls, means success and quick results. It costs more, but it 
is the fixed policy of my Boxford Nursery; and “cheap ” stock will 
not be handled or sent out. The Best is always the Cheapest. 


PACKING CHARGES FREE for shipment by Freight or 
Express. Team and auto delivery to North Shore or Boston points 
at net cost. 


At my HIGHLANDS NURSERY, Pineola (Saginaw P. O.), 
North Carolina, 3800 ft. elevation, on the crest of the Alleghany 
Mountains, one may see Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Leucothoes, Kal- 
mias and Andromedas growing in all sizes by tens of thousands in 
single species, and nowhere else can be found such a collection of 
Rare American Plants of unquestionable hardiness—the best for 
American Gardens. 


THE CAROLINA MOUNTAINS is the native home of the 
most beautiful Broad-leaved Evergreens and Ericaceous Shrubs. 
Highlands Nursery not only ships direct to customers, but is a great 
propagating plant, supplying material for my Boxford Nursery. A 
catalog of Highlands Nursery is sent on request. 


VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME at both Nurseries 
or at my Salem office. Many customers take the trip to my High- 
lands Nursery in the Carolina Mountains during the blooming season 
of Rhododendrons and Azaleas. No such show can be seen else- 
where, and it is an outing worth while; I am glad to give details.

LATIFOLIA. Mountain Laurel. 

One of the grandest of our native, broad-leaved evergreen 
shrubs, attaining tree-like proportions in our southern moun- 
tains. In cultivation it is a broad, thick shrub, and when in 
full bloom, of surpassing beauty. ‘The wheel-shaped flowers 
in close terminal corymbs, pure white to pink, appear in May 
or June in such profusion as almost to smother the foliage. Its 
thick, shining leaves, conspicuous the year round, make it a 
shrub of greatest value for massing. The hardiness of Kalmia 
latifolia is beyond doubt, it being found sparingly in Nova 
Scotia and increasingly in abundance through New England 
and the Middle Atlantic States (particularly in the higher alti- 
bina et crest of the Southern ia? (api ieee Or

38 to 8 feet. Few shrub evergreens of the broad-leaved sort 
have the grace of this one. Has thick, shining green leaves, 
evenly disposed on long, recurved branches, and dense racemes 
of beautiful white, bell-shaped flowers. As an undershrub or 
for banks and the borders of streams it is without a rival. The 
sprays make beautiful winter decorations indoors, turning a 
rich bronze in the fall where exposed to the sun. Over 40,000

CAROLINIANUM (PUNCTATUM), Small or Early Flowering 
Rhododrendon. 
The smallest Alleghanian species, though it often attains a 
height of 15 feet and is wide spreading. A very graceful shrub, 
with totally different aspect from the two species preceding. 
Leaves dark green, usually blunt and narrow, covered with 
rusty dots below, much smaller than either maximum or 
catawbiense. Flower-clusters appear in greatest profusion in 
June, covering the plant with a rose-colored mantle. Fine for 
rocky slopes or hillsides, standing exposure unusually 
well, and invaluable as a single specimen or for massing with 
the other species. 
Until this year we have been sending this beautiful and rare 
species out under the name of punctatum. Prof. Sargent has 
recently called attention to the fact that it is a distinct species 
from the punctatum, differing in time of bloom, with more 
showy and profuse flowers, and making a much larger and 
finer plant than the punctatum. 
It is now known as Rhododendron carolinianum, being de- 
seribed and named by Alfred Rehder, Arnold Arboretum, Ja- 
et p Plain, Mass.

;CATAWBIENSE, OF THE CAROLINA MOUNTAINS. 

It is this magnificent Rhododendron that over a hundred years 
ago was introduced into Europe, supplying, together with 
Rhododendron maximum and R. punctatum, color and hardy 
blood to the cultivated “hybrids,” but with a consequent loss 
of hardiness; and so today, for American gardens where iron- 
clad hardiness is essential, we must turn to the true_original 
species, found on the loftiest, coldest peaks of the Southern 
Alleghanies, where it attains a height of 20 to 30 feet. 

Considering the extreme hardiness, color of flower, compact 
growth and remarkable texture of foliage, which is a deep, 
shining green, and far superior to the better-known Rhododen- 
dron maximum, we can recommend the true native catawbiense 
as the finest for general use, withstanding exposure and ex- 
tremes of temperature where other Rhododendrons fail. 

Do not confuse this true species, which is absolutely hardy, 
with the common so-called catawbiense hybrid seedling so 
freely imported from Europe, which is at best half-hardy, and 
even when branched above is a single stem, showing bareness 
underneath for years. 

Unlike Rhododendron maximum, it is a very free bloomer, 
with foliage of a dark, rich, lasting green, which never rusts. 
The trusses are a bright red-purple (in marked contrast to 
the muddy purple of the semi-hardy half-breed imported varie- 
ty noted above), and as sent out by Highlands Nursery are 
always on their own roots. 

For massing to produce a broad-leaved evergreen landscape 
effect, there is no plant equal to it in the latitude of the North- 
ern United States and Canada, where strictly hardy plants 
must be employed. As a rich, finished border to plantations 
of the commoner Rhododendron maximum and Kalmia latlfolia, 
the ee of Rhododendron catawbiense cannot be overesti- 
smated.

RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM. The great American Rosebay. Per- 
fectly hardy in the latitude of Quebec, 

Rhododendron maximum is without doubt the noblest of 
American broad-leaved shrubs. It is found growing sparingly 
in New England and New York, more abundantly in the Penn- 
sylvania mountains, but reaching perfection only in the South- 
ern Alleghaney mountains where it grows in such luxuriance 
as to form a striking feature in the mountain landscape. Its 
large, waxy white or delicately pink fiowers appear in large 
trusses in July, the latest of all the Rhododendrons, greatly 
enhancing its ornamental value as a broad-leaved evergreen 
for finished landscape effect. 

Not_even in Asia do Rhododendrons grow more luxuriantly 
than in our Southern Alleghany Mountains, where they attain 
a height of 30 feet or more. They must be seen in their native 
lavishness of growth and bloom, on the maountain-sides or 
hanging over the dashing ice-cold streams and water-falls, to 
be properly appreciated, and a trip to the high Carolina moun- 
tains in spring and early summer is a never-to-be-forgotten 
series of joys to the lover of nature. 

In our northern gardens Rhododendron maximum (and other 
species to a small extent) is subject to damaging attacks from 
the lace-wing fly, particularly in sunny locations. It is easily 
kept in control with an emulsion of five to ten pounds of whale- 
oil soap and one to two quarts of kerosene to 100 gallons of 
waters used with a spray pump having a fine nozzle.

Rhododendrons and Kalmias by the Car Load. 


Rhododendrons and kalmias delivered at your station by 
the carload. To be shipped from point determined by m-. 

For the area covered and effect produced, a ‘‘carload’’ of 
Rhododendrons or Kalmias is the cheapest landscape prop- 
osition offered. I ship an unusual grade of splendid clumps, 
each plant a specimen and burlapped separately. Don’t 
accept cheap stock, thrown into cars without burlapping 
and with the fine, hair-like rootlets inevitably exposed. 
You will be disappointed and find it expensive ‘m the end.

CAROLINIANA, Carolina Hemlock. 
40 to 80 ft. This grand new Hemlock introduced by me pos- 
sesses a distinct pyramidal growth and attains a height of 40 
to 80 feet. Its dense, dark foliage and graceful habit are ap- 
proached only by the finer Japanese Hemlocks. Some fine 
specimens are to be seen in the Arnold Arboretum, and are the 
first plants of this Hemlock ever sent out, being supplied by me 
to Prof. C. S. Sargent, in 1884.

LANDSCAPE DEPARTMENT 


VISITS ARE MADE for consultation and advice, to make surveys, 
designing and planting plans. Entire construction, planting and carry- 
ing out of landscape work of all kinds undertaken, and charges will 
be found reasonable and consistent with good workmanship and per- 
manent results. 

THE WILD GARDEN. The basis of all the best landscape work of a 
permanent nature must be Native Plants and particularly where nat- 
uralistic effects are desired If this fact is ignored tame and fleeting 
results will follow. I make a specialty of WILD GARDENING 
and my long experience is here of greatest value. Every garden or 
estate has its own peculiar problems and a discussion of details may 
prove helpful in unexpected ways.

THE TRUE FRASER’S FIR 


HE northern species, Abies balsamea, 
ae is almost worthless in any but the lati- 
tude of middle and northern Maine, 
as it becomes “‘leggy,’’ thin, and is short-lived. 
Fraser's Fir, however, is a distinct species 
from the highest peaks of the Carolina 
Mountains, and makes a perfect specimen 
lawn and screen tree, with dark-green, thick- 
set foliage (blue underneath) and compact, 
pyramidal habit. It is one of the choicest of 
all American conifers of the Fir section.
