grower is best in masses and in shrub borders; it is not 
suitable for the Rose-garden. It has clear yellow, fra¬ 
grant, single flowers.

species on a bank and it will reward you with narrow 
bright green foliage, shiny pink flowers, and striking 
autumn coloring. 
R. rugosa. 4 to 5 ft. The handsome, large, pink flowers 
come from June to September. Rich green foliage and 
large red fruit make this plant desirable. It is good 
used as a border or in a hedge. We have some plants 
with white blooms and some with purple. 
R. setigera. Prairie Rose. 4 to 6 ft. This valuable plant 
has long, slender, prickly branches and deep rose flowers 
fading to white as they die. It is a graceful shrub and 
one which should be used more.

ROSE OF SHARON. See Hibiscus syriacus and Hyperi- 
RHODODENDRON carolinianum. Carolina Rhododen¬ 
dron. 5 to 6 ft. These nursery-grown plants have 
clusters of charming pink flowers borne at the ends of 
the branches which are covered with large evergreen 
leaves. They require an acid soil, as do the other 
Rhododendron. 
R. catawbiense. Catawba Rhododendron. 6 to 20 ft. One 
of the most beautiful of our native broadleaf evergreens, 
this shrub has large clusters of lilac-purple flowers. 
R. maximum. Great Laurel; Rosebay Rhododendron. 
25 to 35 ft. A hardy plant and one that is very effective 
with its large foliage and rose-colored flowers. 
RHUS canadensis (aromatica). Fragrant Sumac. 4 to 6 ft. 
This is one of our best cover-plants and it spreads 
naturally and rapidly. It has good foliage, large clusters 
of tiny coral-red berries, and fragrant branches, leaves, 
and flowers. 
R cotinoides. American Smoke-Tree. 15 to 18 ft. This 
small tree has larger leaves than does Cotinus but in 
other respects it is quite similar. The autumn tints are 
brilliant, surpassing even the color of the berries. 
R. cotinus. Purple Fringe; Smoke Tree. 10 to 12 ft. 
Feathery, purplish, smoke-like flowers give the tree a 
smoky appearance. The foliage colors beautifully in 
the autumn. 
R. typhina laciniata. Dwarf Staghorn Sumac. 4 to 5 ft. 
A charming dwarf Sumac which is notable for its gro¬ 
tesque shape and brilliant coloring. 
The delicate, finely cut foliage and 
low-growing habit make it desirable. 
ROBINIA hispida. Rose Acacia; 
Moss Locust. 5 to 6 ft. A shrub 
with odd-pinnate, hairy leaves and 
fragrant rose-pink flowers in spring. 
It spreads so rapidly as to be a 
nuisance if planted in a restricted 
space. Native to this section. 
R. PseudoAcacia. Black Locust; 
False Acacia. 60 to 80 ft. This 
quick-growing hardwood tree has 
many uses, both practical and 
ornamental. It is stately in ap¬ 
pearance and has attractive white 
flowers and strong thorns.
