R. maximum. This species 
is a native of valleys and 
swamps from Georgia 
to Nova Scotia. It has 
long, glossy leaves and 
beautiful pink and white 
flowers in June and J uly, 
continuing the season 
much later than the 
others. We have 
planted many hundreds

bordering drives in 
woodland, for planting 
in shady corners of the 
house, or making rich 
banks of green in the 
open. Growing in the 
partial shade of our 
orchard are many large established clumps 5 to 
9 feet high. Furnished in car-load lots at low rates.
