RHODODENDRONS 



EXPERIENCE has proved that many Rhododendrons are hardy as far north as Boston. No flowers 

 are more gorgeous than these grand shrubs, when they are all aglow with their great masses of 

 bloom. But not only are the flowers attractive; the heavy, shiny green leaves enliven the land- 

 scape even in Winter. In front of evergreen shelter-belts, their glossy foliage appears to delightful advan- 

 tage against the more sombre hues of the conifers. 



Rhododendrons do well in most soils free from limestone, and to obtain success with them, no such 

 expensive methods of preparing the ground are required as are sometimes advocated, though the}- willingly 

 respond to such treatment. In Summer a light mulch of cut grass retains the moisture, and in Winter, 

 a heavier mulch of leaves protects the roots and frequently a slight covering is required to shelter the 

 flower-buds and foliage. After each flowering season pick off the dead bloom. 



All our Rhododendrons are shipped with balls of earth about their roots, which prevent them from 

 drying out, and insures successful growth. They are well budded and will flower this year. 



Native Rhododendron 



Rhododendron Maximum. A native shrub 

 that is beautiful among our mountainous regions in 

 June and July, when its great white (sometimes 

 rosy pink) flower masses appear in full bloom 

 along the roadsides or on banks of streams. The 

 landscape artist uses them in much the same way 

 that nature does. For covering banks, for groups 

 or masses in shady situations, as an undergrowth 

 in wooded places or for planting beside drives and 

 paths, nothing is more attractive. The heavy, 

 glossy green leaves make a magnificent setting for 

 the large, showy flowers.

Rhododendrons by the Carload 



We are in a position to supply Rhododendron 

 Maximum from 2 to 7 feet in height, in carload lots. 

 We dig these carefully and they withstand trans- 

 planting especially well. 



Upon request, further particulars and prices of 

 carload shipments will be cheerfully given. 



If Rhododendrons have moisture they will grow in full sunUght as well as in shaded places where they are now so abundantly 

 used. For Spring delivery we have a splendid stock of the Hybrid varieties as well as the native Rhododendron Maximum.
