LA BARS’ RHODODENDRON NURSERY, STROUDSBURG, PA.

OUR BRANCH NURSERIES 
NORTH CAROLINA: Due to the unexcelled growing conditions of the 
section we established a branch nursery on Route 181 at Jonas Ridge, Burke 
County, North Carolina. This section is in the beautiful Blue Ridge Moun¬ 
tain country and the elevation is in excess of 4,000 feet, which means hardiness 
for the plants anywhere in our northern states. This nursery is now five years 
old and has plantings as extensive as the parent nursery. 
WEST VIRGINIA: LaBars’ Rhododendron Nursery of West Virginia, 
located at White Sulphur Springs, is a more recent development but the plant¬ 
ings are now taking form. The nursery is located on Alvon Road, several 
miles from the heart of the town, but a display grounds and office are located 
on the Midland Trail nearly opposite the famous Greenbrier Hotel. Visitors 
to this noted old resort are invited to visit the display grounds and nursery. 
MARYLAND: In conjunction with the Andorra Nurseries of Philadelphia 
and the Towson Nurseries of Towson, Maryland, we are interested in the Old 
English Boxwood Company. The nursery is located at Cockeysville, Maryland, 
along the York Road out of Baltimore, and already a large accumulation of Old 
English Boxwood has been assembled there. This collection represents plants of 
all sizes and shapes, and affords the buyer an opportunity to select personally 
a transplanted perfected product of this veritable antique among plants. The 
administrative offices are at Towson Nurseries and if you are interested in 
Boxwood it will pay you to write the Old English Boxwood Co., c/o Towson 
Nurseries, Towson, Maryland. 
NEW JERSEY: Along the Delaware River, in Walpack Township, Sussex 
County, we have another production unit, which, however functions solely as a 
feeder for our Stroudsburg nursery. 
A successful planting of LaBars’ Nursery-grown Rhododendrons at Syracuse, N. 
Aluminum Sulphate was used to acidify the lime soil.
