- > 
The home of Hardy American Rhodouhndrons is in the high Carolina Mountains. Mount 
Mitchell the hiifhest peak east of the Rockies is shown in the background. This region also sup- 
plies our glorious Hardy American Azaleas— the best of all.

"Collected" Clumps By The Carload 
For Fall and Spring Planting 
For the area covered and effect produced, a carload of Rhododendrons or Kalmias is the cheap- 
est landscape proposition offered. I ship an unusual grade of splendid clumps, each plant a speci- 
men and burlaped separately. Don't accept cheap stock, thrown into cars without burlapnig, and 
the tine hair-like rootlets inevitably exposed. You will be disappointed and find it expensive m 
the end. While fine results may be had from "collected" Rhododendrons, particularly if pur- 
chased from a reliable source, where greatest care is used in digging and handling, results are never 
so sure as when nursery-grown stock is used. , _ 
The number that may be shipped in a car varies largely, depending on sizes. The minimum 
weight allowed per car is 16,000 pounds. .... . j ,^ , • 
"Mixed" cars of collected Rhododendrons, cataivbtense. Rhododendron maximum, and Kalmias 
,*vill be sent if desired. . . j r . u u 
A car may be easily loaded much heavier, with proportionate mcreased freight charge. 
A full car travels with greater safety than one with a small load. 
All "clumps" are collected with a good ball and are burlaped separately.
