[)ended u[)on to furnish first-class results. W'e ship only selected stock, carefully dug 
and packed. Carload shipments will be made from North ('arolina wliere tlie finest

RHODODENDRON 
catawbiense compact a. 
'This is a distinct plant 
front the ordinary 
Rhododendron calaxo- 
biense, having a very 
dense and compact 
growth. These plants 
come from a location of 
extreme exposure where 
they have been swe[)i 
by the severe winds ol' 
winter and subject to 
the burning sun ol 
summer. Their hardi¬ 
ness makes them ex¬ 
tremely desirable for 
planting in exposed sit¬ 
uations in northern 
latitudes. Never before 
has this beautiful va¬ 
riety been ofTered in 
collected material; we 
consider them of ex¬ 
ceptional value and 
urge those who may 
desire these unusually 
compact, dwarf Rho¬ 
dodendrons to place 
orders early. When 
the present supply is 
exhausted these plants of such high 
quality cannot be du])licated. In a 
large majority of cases the spread of 
these |>Iants exceeds the height and they 
are feathered to the ground. After 
viewing these plants personally in their 
native habitat we can truthfully say 
that the quality of this materia! cannot 
be exaggerated. lOO
