In writiuj,' of this grand native shrub, Mr. J. 

 W. Manning truthfully and forcibly says: — 

 '•Rhododendron maximum is being largely used 

 fur laiulscape work. Its foliage is the longest 

 ami shnwicst of any broad-leaved evergreen. Its 

 liaiililiniiil Ls unquestioned, (it is a rare native as 

 fai- iiuitli as Xova Scotia), and its late blooming 

 lialiii (>\ton(ls the blooming season for a month 

 litiigcr tliaui when the/ usual varieties only are plant- 

 ed. Its vigorus growth, sturdy habit and adapta- 

 bility to a variety of soils, would, with its foliage 

 alont'. make it a valuable ornamental plant; but 

 its crnwiiing glory of show^y flowers, borne in 

 large rinsters in magnificent profusion in late 

 June and early July, renders it noteworthy among 

 hardy plants. * * * As an ornamental plant 

 it is one of the best, but \ised also in connection 

 with more costly hybrid sorts, which include 

 early season of bloom and greater range of color, 

 it is i)()ssible to obtain a showy and immediate 

 effect that would otherwise be possible only af- 

 ter years of waiting, or at greater expense than 

 can ordinarily be afforded. 



Hlioiloilendron maximum is at home under the 

 shade of trees, where many other desirable shrub's 

 will not thrive. For massing along wooded drives 

 and paths of parks of private estates, no other 

 plant is so effective in producing beautiful re- 

 sults. For massing a 1 tout buildings it is als" 

 invaluable. The plants I ofCer are stocky, well 

 furnished, with ball of earth and of very superior 

 quality in every way.

RHODODENDRON PUNCTATUM. early blooming rhododbndkon. 



An American species but little known. It differs from R. Maximnm in being of dwarf habit, with smaller 

 leaves, which are quite narrow and rich dark green, and blooming a month earlier; two weeks in ad- 

 ranee of the hybrid varieties. No other Rhododendron will succeed under such trying conditions as this; 

 in full exposure to the sun and sweeping winds. No other variety or species presents such a lavish wealth 

 of bloom; the flowers literally enveloping the plant from the middle to the last of May. The flowers are 

 handsome and of delightful shades of blush and shell pink. It is truly grand. Nursery grown plants with 

 ball of earth, 12 to 15 in., each, 50c; doz. $5.00. 1% to 2 ft., each 75c; doz. $7.50. 



•Another favorite method of planting shrubs is In 

 scattered groups, arid fine effects are obtained with 

 Rhododendrons and Kalmais, Rugosa Roses and 

 Hydrangea.s." Dora Read Goodalb.
