Rhododendron maximum or Rosebay Rhodo- 
dendron is without doubt the noblest of 
American l)roadlcaf shrubs. It is found 
growing sparingly in New Kngland and New 
York, more abundantly in the Pennsylvania 
mountains, but reaching perfection onlj' in the 
Southern Alleghany Mountains, where it grows 
in such luxuriance as to form a striking feature 
in the mountain land.scape. Its large, waxy 
white or delicately pink flowers appear in large 
tru.sses in July, the latest of all the Rhododen- 
drons, greatly enhancing its ornamental value 
as a broadlcaf evergreen for flnished landscape 
elTcct.
