Rhododendron and Freight Information 
My facilities for growing and collecting are approached by none, and the quality 01 
ray stock cannot be duplicated elsewhere. Hundreds of carloads of niy plants, now growing 
and flourishing in many of the leading estates and public parks in America, conclusively 
show the value of twenty-five years' experience. 
To save freight charges, to northern points only, I ship carload lots of Rhododendron 
maximum and Kalmia latifolia from spcci.1l supplies in the Pennsylvania nioiuUains, 
but to all southern points, shipments are made from the southern mountains, the best clumps 
coming from the South. Rhododendron Catawbiense and R. punctatum grow only 
in the southern mountains. 
.\lways buy "per plant" — you then know wMiat you are getting, or ought to get. As a 
bait to catch orders, certain dealers in R. maximum, collected in Pennsylvania, otTer 
"by the car" at low rates. Usually such cars contain about one-half to one-fourth of a real 
carload; you thus pay a high cost per plant, and high freight rate per plant. A full car con- 
tains from 40 to 1,000 clumps, according to size. 
The freight rate per car, from Pennsylvania points to eastern and northern points 
generally, is from S25 to $45. From North Carolina to similar points, the rate is from $60 
to Sioo per car, depending, in part, on car's contents. My cars are always packed to the 
limit, luiless otherwise ordered. 
At Highlands Nursery, 3,800 feet elevation in the high North Carolina mountains, 
in Mitchell county, I have the largest collection of strictly Hardy .American Plants — and 
especially Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Kalmias and Andromedas — in existence. Over 100 
acres and 600 species of native plants. 
At Salem Branch, Salem, Mass., is kept a fine stock of large specimen clumps, 
mostly budded. Car shipments are made from both Nurseries. Salem Nursery price-list, 
sent on request.
