KELSEY'S HARDY AMERICAN 
RHODODENDRONS, KALMIAS, 
AN D R O M E D AS eve^TCKu.. 
At Boxford Nursery, Boxford, Massachusetts 
Given proper soil conditions and exposure or location, all these native species are 
perfectly hardy in the latitude of Quebec 
The desirable hybrids are not strictly hardy— many are really tender— and so for general plant- 
ing and for successful results we must turn to our hardy native species, using the hybrids sparingly 
or where specially protected by mass planting of the indigenous sorts. Our Highlands Nursery 
is situated in the home of the American Rhododendron. Not even m Asia do Rhododendrons grow- 
so luxuriantly as in our own southern Alleghany Mountains, where they attain a height of 30 feet 
and more, assuming tree-like proportions. They must be seen in their native lavishness of growth 
and bloom, on the mountain sides or hanging over the dashing, ice-cold streams and waterfalls, to 
be properly appreciated, and a trip to the high Carolina mountains m spring and early summer is 
a never-to-be-forgotten series of joys to the lover of nature. 
With proper knowledge and experience, this beauty and wildness may be transferred to our 
gardens and lawns. Our long experience is at the service of customers at all times. 
Thousands of the finest specimens in clumps filled with flower buds are at Boxford Nursery. 
These are transplanted many times and will produce an immediate effect. 
Prices are for heavy, nursery-grown stock, f.o.b. cars at Boxford Nursery, Boxford, Mass. 
All plants except rarely the smallest sizes under 1 foot, are balled and burlaped separately. 
Use hardy American Lilies, Trilliums, and other bulbs as "fillers" and "edging for the Rhodo- 
dendron bed. A special bulb list is ready, and will be freely sent.
