"^Rhododendron Catawbiense, of the 
Carolina Mountains 
It is thi.s inagniGcem Uhodotteudrmn that over a hundred years ago was 
introduced into Kurope, 8UpplyiiiK, together with HhoilotleudroTi nutxiniitm 
and R. puncfulum. color and hardy blood to tlie cultivated "hybrids," but 
with a oonse(iuent loss of hardiness; and so today, for American gardens 
where ironclad hardiness is essential, we must turn to the true original spe- 
cies, found on the loftiest, coldest peaks of the southern Alleghanies, where 
it attains a height of 20 to 30 feet. 
Considering the extreme hardiness, color of flower, compact growth and 
remarkable texture of foliage, which is a deep, shiny green and fur superior 
lo the better known Hhododenriron nmximum, we can recommend the true 
native catawbiense as the fine.st for general use, withstanding exposure and 
extremes of temperature where; other Rhododendrons fail. 
Do not confuse this true species, which is absolutely hardy, with the 
common so-called catawbicn.se hybrid seedlings so freely imported from 
Europe, which is at best half-hardy, and even when branched above is a 
single stem, showing bareness underneath for years. 
Unlike Rhododeiulron maximum, it is a veiy free bloomer, with foliage of 
a dark, rich, lasting green, which never rusts. The trusses are a blight 
red-purple, in marke<i contrast to the nmddy purple of the semi-hardy half- 
breed imported variety noted above and, as sent out by Highlands Nursery 
are always on their own roots. 
For massing to produce a broad-leaved evergreen landscape eflfect, there 
is no plant equal to it in the latitude of the northern United States and 
Canada, where strictly hardy plants must be employe.!. As a rich, finished 
lM>rder to plantations of the commoner lihod-xl^ndron maximum ami Kalmia 
laUfolia, the value of Rhthlodendron catawbiense cannot be overestimated. 
Do not compare our many -stemmed clumps with the single- 
stemmed, "bushy" half-hardy Rhododendrons ofiered by importers. 
There is no comparison. Her 10 100 l.iMX)
