Information 
HIGHLANDS NURSERY SHIPMENTS are made from Pineola, N. I !., 
freight station, and prices in this list are made on this basis. Freight 
and express rates have been reduced, and we will gladly quote 
rates. Via Norfolk Steamship Lilies, deliveries to northern and 
eastern points are quick and rates low. 
SALEM BRANCH NURSERY SHIPMENTS are made from Salem 
direct, and our special price-list must be used in ordering. Prices 
are about 25 per cent higher than for similar stock at our main High- 
lands Nursery. A fine stock of specimen Rhododendrons, Azaleas, 
Conifers, etc., may be seen at Salem Branch Nursery, and deliv- 
eries to eastern points rarely take more than a day or two. 
SHIPMENTS OF "COLLECTED" RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM AND 
KALMIAS are from our special fields in Pennsylvania and the South, 
depending on destination and quality of stock desired. The best 
clumps come from the South from high altitudes. 
••COLLECTED" RHODODENDRON CATAWBIENSE AND RHODODEN- 
DRON PUNCTATUM come only from the South. 
OUR NURSERIES ARE UMQUE, being the first and only to grow 
Native American Ornamentals, and we now have the only large 
and complete stock of Hardy American Rhododendrons, Azaleas, 
Kalmias and like plants in existence. 
THE LOCATION OF HIGHLANDS NURSERY also is unique, an eleva- 
vation ot 3,800 feet insuring unquestioned hardiness. 
SHIPPING BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER, when we send out large Rho- 
dodendrons, Kalmias and other evergreens, and bulbs and herba- 
ceous plants, general stock going out in October and November 
and in spring from about March 1 to May 15. Give shipping in 
structions, unless you wish to leave it to us. We use our best judg- 
ment, but assume no risk. 
OUR EXPORT SHIPMENTS reach the most remote countries in 
perfect condition; we have exported for over 20 years and know 
how to pack.
