RHODODENDRON CAROLINIANUM 
Mr. E. H. Wilson, in The Garden Magazine for June 1916, describes this variety as follows: "As a 
garden plant for this country, R. carolinianum is by far the best species of this group and is one of the very 
finest of all broad-leaved evergreens hardy in Massachusetts. It is a shrub of compact habit from four to 
six feet tall and as much in diameter, with handsome dark green leaves and is very floriferous. The flowers 
are pale to deep pink and are borne in clusters and open and fade before the young branches begin to grow and 
therefore are not hidden by them. The species is native of high altitudes in the southern Appalachian 
region and was formerly confused with R. minus (better known as R. punctatum) which grows in the same region 
but at a lower level." Of this variety we cannot speak too warmly in its praise. It has only to be seen to be 
appreciated. We regard it as one of the coming plants, and one of which we shall soon have a stock of sizable 
plants; but now can offer only young plants 12 to 18 in., at 75c; 18 to 24 in. at $1.25.
