Hills, Streams, and Laurels Represent the Allegheny's 
Anyone who has ever gone through our eastern mountains when the laurels were in bloom will never forget them. We have tried to 
depict the Allegheny section of our Century of Progress garden by using a hillside, falling water, and masses of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, etc. 
We think that we are safe in saying that here in Middlebury, Indiana, we are having more success with the growing of Rhododendrons, 
Azaleas, and that type of plant, than at any nursery west of Pittsburgh. It is our opinion that Rhododendrons acclimated here do better 
in the central states than plants grown in far sections of the country; so we are offering on this page special bargains of these types of 
plants and if you live anywhere between Pittsburgh and Denver, we honestly believe that these plants are adapted and more valuable to 
you than if they were grown where the laurel is native. 
Special Bargains of Plants Typical of the Alleghenys 
Rhododendron 
Bargain 
(Catawba Rhododendron) 
One of the most beautiful native shrubs 
and the hardiest of all the Rhododendrons. 
In June every branch has a large cluster 
of 4- to 6-inch broad, rosy purple blooms. 
The foliage is the most handsome of any 
Rhododendron. This, like the following 
species, is now used extensively in park 
planting and taken by carloads from native 
woods and mountains. Dug with care, 
with a ball of turfy soil, it may be sue- 
cessfully transplanted. The handsome 
large evergreen foliage is pleasant to be- 
hold the year round. Guaranteed nursery 
grown.

Azalea Mollis 
(Hardy Azaleas) 
This is one of the aristocrats of the 
flower family. The plant is absolutely 
hardy, grows to a height of 24 inches 
and is covered with a mass of bloom 
in orange and yellow colors through 
the months of May and early June, 
before the leaves appear. They are 
one of the most strikingly beautiful 
shrubs and attract more attention 
through the month of May than any' 
thing that we have on our grounds. 
They are planted as a border to Rho- 
dodendrons and in beds by themselves. 
We have a large stock of this variety 
and have cut the price within the reach 
of all.
