"Rhododendron Walk/* or "The Vista," is the special 

 pride of Towson Nurseries. A long, secluded lane, bordered 

 by lofty Locusts and tall Tulip Trees, it runs along the 

 south line of the nursery for nearly 1,000 feet. One side is 

 hemmed with a vine-covered fence, the other opens through 

 the trees in a series of delightful views upon sloping fields 

 radiant m May with thousands of Rhododendrons and 

 Azaleas. The shady intervals between the trees are given to 

 fine specimens of those noble plants, and naturalized clumps 

 of the fine long-spurred Columbines. Native Ferns and 

 Pachysandra cover the ground. 



Here is a bench to rest upon, to enjoy the fragrance drifting 

 down the Lane, to listen to red-headed woodpeckers at work 

 high m the lofty trees, and, most wonderful of all, to drink 

 in the floods of sparkling colors, flickered by sunlight and shade 

 falling through the trees upon the flowers below.
