^Rhododendron maximum 
The Great American Rosebay 
Perfectly Hardy in the Latitude of Quebec 
Rhododendron maximum is, without doubt, the noblest of American 
broad-l<raved shrub.s. It is found growing sparingly in New England and 
New York, more abundantly in 
the Pennsylvania mountains, but 
reaching iwrfection only in the 
southern Alleghany mountains, 
where it grow.s in such luxuriance 
as to form a striking feature in the 
mountain landscai>e. Its large, 
waxy white or delicately pink flowers 
appear in large trusse-s in July, »he 
latest of all the Khododendrons, 
greatly enhancing its orna- 
mental value as a broad-leaved 
evergreen for fini-shed land- 
scape effect. 
Not even iu Asia do Rho- 
dodendrons (crow more luxu- 
riantly than in our southern 
Alleghany mountains, 
where they attain a 
height of 30 feet or 
more. They must be 
seen in their native 
hivishncsa of 
growth a n d 
bloom, on the 
mountain 
sides or hang- 
ing over the 
da.shing ice-cold 
falls, to be projKjrKr appreciated, and 
a trip to the high Carolina mountains 
in spring and early summer is a never- 
to-be-forgot ten series of joys to t he 
lover of nature. 
In our northern gardens Hhmtoden- 
dron maximum (and other species to a V r>u„-i j j . * _ 
small extent) is subject to damaging ^ Rhododendron punctatum 
attacks from the lace-wing fly, particu- 
larly in sunny locations. I recommend an enuUsion of five to ten pound.s 
whale-oil mnp and one to two quarts kerosene (o 100 gallons of water, used 
with a spray pump with fine nozzle.
