Flowering Broad-leaved Evergreens _ 47 
Catawban Rhododendron Rhododendron catawbiense 
A native Rhododendron of the southern Alleghany Mountains, and the parent- 
plant from which the many-hued hybrids listed on preceding pages were originated, 
and which they resemble in every detail of habit of growth. The color of the large 
trusses of bloom which it bears in late spring are a pleasing soft rose-lilac. 
Where extensive plantings are contemplated, as in a wood, their variety serves 
as an admirable basework for the vari-colored hybrids; it also possesses the very 
valuable quality of great hardiness. For planting as far north as the New England 
States it cannot be too highly recommended. It is in every way a pleasing variety 
with which many are all too unfamiliar. Each 10 100

Great Laurel Rhododendron maximum 
Hardy as far north as Canada, this native of the Alleghanies is a valuable 
species for extensive plantings, through which some of the brighter and more profuse 
flowering sorts may be interspersed to great advantage. The flowers are rosy white 
to white in late June or July, and the leaves are large and rather long and narrow. 
The plants offered below are clumps, which we have grown on firm collected 
plants in our Nurseries, and are superior to those freshly collected from the woods 
as they have established a good ball of fibrous roots which insures their success.
