Native Rhododendrons 



The Rare, True Native Species 



1FAFTER ALL the only truly satisfactory plants to use 

 for producing; permanent and delightful landscape 

 effects are our Hardy Native American Plants. Easy 

 10 cuhivate, free from foreign diseases, and in perfect 

 harmony with the surroundings of all American lawns 

 and gardens, our Native Rhododendrons, Azaleas and 

 Kalmias are unequalled for massing effects, used either 

 as a background or in large clumps or masses alone. 

 Now is the time to plant. The True Native RHODO- 

 DENDRON CATAWBIENSE is brilliant red purple 

 (not the muddy-purple of the incorrectly named, 

 imported so-called " caiaivbiense seedlings " ), with 

 wonderfully clean, dark, spiny foliage. We offer mag- 

 nificent clumps by the carload or in small quantities for 

 September and October planting. U We have a hun- 

 dred thousand American Rhododendrons growing in 

 HIGHLANDS NURSERY, 4.000 feet elevation in 

 the Carolina Mountains, absolutely hardy and in all 

 sizes. II The Garden Magazine readers are beginning 

 to realize the wealth and beauty of our Native plants, 

 and hundreds of car-loads are being planted annually 

 from our Nurseries. HA unique illustrated catalog of 

 American Plants and an original and dainty Rhodo- 

 dendron Booklet telling how to successfully grow 

 these glorious broad-leaved evergreens mailed to every 

 reader of The Garden Magazine who asks.
