RHODODENDRONS—Continued 
Native Species 
RHODODENDRON CATAWBIENSE. 
This is the principle parent used by the hybridists in originating the popular 
garden varieties which have proven reliably hardy in New England. It is all-in-all 
? erhaps the most valuable hardy evergreen shrub available to-day for massing, 
t will endure extremes of exposure to cold. Its masses of brilliant claret wine 
to rosy pink flowers expand before the leaf growth starts in the spring producing 
in greatest profusion so attractive a color effect that those who have been for¬ 
tunate enough to see it in bloom on its native mountains will long remember 
the effect. Similar effects can be gained in our gardens and woodlands by the 
liberal use of this splendid native Rhododendron and we cannot too highly recom¬ 
mend it for such purposes. 
Prices. Specimens 4 to 5 ft. $4.00 to $6.00 each. 
Specimens 3 to 4 ft. $3.50 each, $30.00 per 10. 
Strong clumps, 2 to 3 ft. $2.50 each, $22.50 per 10, $200.00 per 100. 
RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM (Rose-Bay). 
This native broad-leaf strictly hardy evergreen affords splendid opportunity 
for no end of charming effects. In large public parks and private estates they can be 
used by the thousands, and even within the more restricted area of the usual city lot 
many chances for their liberal use are sure to arise. This beautiful Rhododendron is 
perfectly hardy and thrives luxuriantly even in the shady corner and under trees. 
Our stock is collected high up on the tablelands of the Allegheny Mountains where 
it is so very cold and exposed to such severe weather conditions that even the native 
trees are dwarfed in growth.

RHODODENDRON CAROLINIANUM. 
A small dwarf species from the Allegheny Mountains, old specimens sometimes 
gaining several feet in height. A very graceful shrub with a totally different 
aspect from other Rhododendrons. The leaves are the glossy dark green usually 
blunt and narrow, far smaller than either of the preceding types. Flower clusters 
appear in greatest profusion in June covering the plant with a soft rose colored 
mantle. Unexcelled for rocky slopes or hillside, standing exposure unusually 
well. Equally desirable for rockery and other positions requiring a mass effect 
as well as for planting in the foreground of taller types. This is a comparatively 
unknown species and we cannot recommend it too highly. 
Prices. Bushy specimens 1 to 1J ft. $3.50 each, $32.50 per 10. 
RHODENDRON SMIRNOWI. 
A valuable Asiatic species of iron clad hardiness, differing from our native 
forms in having a light silky woolly growth on the underside of the leaves. Al¬ 
though blooming freely when not more than a foot high it ultimately gains large 
size. The flowers are produced in clusters well above the foliage and are of a 
soft pink to reddish pink color. As the habit of growth is quite slow it can be used 
to advantage as a foreground plant in groups with taller specimens of other types. 
Prices. Very bushy specimens, 18 to 24 inches, $2.00 to $4.00 each. 
Stocky plants, 15 to 18 inches $1.25 each, $10.00 per 10, $90.00 per 100.
