Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs 
Native Deciduous Shrubs

rather than adding to the appearance of the garden. The three 
varieties here named are recommended for a rock-garden planting. 
AZALEA canescens {A. rosea). Piedmont Azalea. A rare species, 
native to the mountains of North Carolina. The flowers are pink

RHODODENDRONS 
If care is taken in preparing the soil, Rhododendrons can be made 
to thrive in many situations. They are partial to acid soils, and where 
limestone prevails the condition can be corrected in a large measure 
by the addition of peat and a mulch of oak leaves which may be 
worked into the soil in spring. 
RHODODENDRON carolinianum. Carolina Rhododendron. Native 
to the high mountains of northwestern North Carolina, and the 
earliest flowering of the native sorts. The flowers are produced 
very freely and vary from light to dark pink. ,
