RHODODEX DRON FLOWERS 
RHODODENDRONS 
There is no more attractive feature of a fine 
country place than the rich bloom of rhododen¬ 
drons in the latter part of May and early June. 
The huge clusters of flowers in many shades of 
pink, violet, rose, purple, and delicate creamy 
white, give them right to the first rank amonj' 
evergreen shrubs. The rich green of the foliage 
in winter is most effective in contrast with the 
dull tints of deciduous shrubbery. 
No plant possesses greater decorative value. 
We wish every possessor of this catalogue might 
sec the magnificent display on our grounds and at 
Highland Park, this city (the photo on page 36 
was taken there), famous throughout the country 
for its collection of rhododendrons. 
All are shipped with ball of earth, insuring 
safety in transplanting. Careful instructions for 
planting and care accompany each order.
