Rhododendron carolinianum, Proctor's Rock Garden, Topsfietd 
Rhododendron carollnianum 
A new Mpecies, Clear pink 
The smallest Atleghanian species, though it often attains a height of 15 
faet and is wide-spreading. A very graceful shrub, with totally different 
aapect from the two species preceding. leaves dark green, usually blunt 
and narrow, covered with rusty dots below, much smaller than either 
maximum or catawbiense. Flower-clusters appear in greatest profusion 
in June, covering the plant with a rose-colored mantle. Fine for rocky 
slopes or hillsides, standing exposure unusually well, and invaluable aa a 
single specimen or for massing with the other species. 
Until this year we have been sending this beautiful and rare species 
out under the name of punotatum. Prof. Sargent has recently called 
attention to the fact that it is a distinct species from the punotatum 
differing in time of bloom, with more showy and profuse flowers, and 
making a much larger and finer plant than the punotatum. 
It is now known as Rhododendron carollnianum, being described 
and named by Alfred Ilehder, Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. 
The above illustration is from a photograph by Mr. Kelsey, May 21, 
1913, at an estate in Topsfield, Mass.
