RHODODENDRONS. 
We draw our supply of Rhododendrons from what we believe to be the finest stock in the world. All the plants, 
even the small sizes, are symmetrical in form, well furnished, and have good fibrous roots that make transplanting 
comparatively safe. 
Rhododendron Catawbiense. A profuse flowering and 
perfectly hardy native sort, is the parent of all our 
hardy named varieties, it having been hybridized with 
R. Arboreum. The plants are of symmetrical shape, and 
seldom exceed 4 feet in height. The varieties embrace 
colors from nearly pure white to dark crimson. All the 
hardy sorts are of easy culture, growing freely in almost any 
good loamy soil, but they prefer a peat soil, and a moist 
situation, protected from cold winter winds. When first 
planted, they should be mulched to prevent evaporation, 
and to keep the roots cool.
