RHODODENDRONS

There is no shrub superior to the Rhododendron, either as a hardy evergreen, 

 a dark subject for screen planting, or in pleasing masses. 



The habit of the plant, the healthy green of its shapely foliage, and its hardy 

 constitution are excellent qualities. To these is added the beauty of its bril- 

 liantly colored flowers, profusely borne in May and June. 



Our plants are fully acclimated, as they have stood the severest winters in our 

 Nurseries. 



Rhododendrons like moisture, but must be in well drained soil and prefer a 

 location without excessive sunshine. In almost every case where the soil is not 

 naturally suited to them it can be adapted to their needs with very little 

 trouble or expense. 



As grown at Towson Nurseries, where we make a specialty of them, Rhododen- 

 drons are the perfection of flowering shrubs. 



We take great pleasure in inviting all admirers of Rhododendrons to visit our 

 Nurseries during the latter part of May and early June, when our large col- 

 lection of fine plants is in full bloom.
