Rhododendron maximum or Rosebay Rhodo- 
dendron is without doubt the noblest of 
American broadleaf shrubs. It is fovmd 
growing sparingly in New I'^ngland and New 
York, more abundantly in the Pennsylvania 
mountains, but reaching perfection only in the 
Southern Alleghany Mountains, where it grows 
in such luxuriance as to form a striking feature 
in the mountain landscape. Its large, waxy 
white or delicately pink flowers appear in large 
trusses in July, the latest of all the Rhododen- 
drons, greatly enhancing its ornamental value 
as a broadleaf evergreen for finished landscape 
effect.
