About Quality in 
.... ^Rhododendrons .... 
OU may have a fairly 
accurate idea of the value of every¬ 
day commodities, but have you ever 
considered that when purchasing 
plants you must rely to a great extent 
upon the reputation of the grower. 
Quality) in plant materials is diffi¬ 
cult to define. Quality cannot be 
judged by the appearance of the plant 
alone. Quality depends largely on un¬ 
seen factors such as root growth, vi¬ 
tality and resistance to disease. The 
integrity and skill of the grower is 
your only guarantee that these all im¬ 
portant factors are present. 
Countless ways are open to the 
grower of bargain plants to reduce his 
growing costs, if he is willing to do so 
at the sacrifice of quality. It is true 
that the most costly plants are not al¬ 
ways the best, but an established and 
reputable nursery is conscientious in 
its efforts to sell the best quality at 
a fair price. 
Thirty-five years experience, and 
the desire to produce a superior pro¬ 
duct, has taught us, we believe, how 
to grow quality RHODODENDRONS 
at a fair price. We hope you will 
give us the opportunity of demon¬ 
strating to you that our material 
is truly the “ Best In Native Rho¬ 
dodendrons .”
