We offer you the selection of nearly four

Rhododendrons 
for Background 
but also 
for Ground Cover 
True, the broadleaved Rhodo¬ 
dendrons have no rival for back¬ 
ground planting, along woodland 
drives and paths, or massed along 
the banks of streams, ponds and 
creeks. But that is only one of the 
many uses to which year round 
beauty adapts them ideally. An¬ 
other good way to use them is as 
ground covering around foundations or on gentle sloping 
embankments, for this particular work I recommend 
Rhododendron Catawbiense Compacta 
Th is is of quite artistic, compact growth, with very 
dark green foliage. It is as hardy as the original tall type 
and can be grown successfully even in northern New 
England. I have perhaps the most extensive stocks of this 
particular type which I can offer in quantities as follows: 
Each 10 
1 to d ft- spread B & B #2.50 $22.50 
15 to 2 ft. spread B & B 3.60 33-00 
2 to i\ ft. spread B & B 5.00 
All the plants are dug and shipped with balls of earth, 
balled and burlapped (B & B) as shown in illustration 
above. This type of stock can only be sent by express or 
freight, packing cases to he charged for at actual cost. 
This is the month to plant Rhododendrons, Kalmias, 
and other broadleaved evergreens. For years I have made 
a specialty of native broadleaved evergreens and am now 
in a position to supply them in carload lots. I ship only 
selected stock, carefully packed and dug. Carload ship¬ 
ments of collected stock will be made from my head¬ 
quarters in North Carolina. Mixed carloads will be made 
up to suit purchasers’ needs. 
And Don’t Forget the Hardy Plants 
I have easily one of the greatest collections of hardy |( 
perennials and from the very beginning have specialized | jg 
in natives. My collection of hardy flowers is second to none || 
in the country. Whether you want to populate a rockery, 
a hardy border, whether your grounds are sunny or shady, gjjj 
or moist or dry, please feel that I can help you to a gar- ||j 
den. Let me prove it by writing to-day for a copy of my 
instructive catalogue containing a wealth of information 
on the subject of hardy native garden treasures.
