Flower Clusters. 
Rose-Bay (Rhododendron Maximum.) 
This native broad-leaf strictly hardy evergreen affords splendid opportunity for no end of charm¬ 
ing effects. In large public parks and private estates they can be used by 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 not only perfectly hardy but thrives luxuriantly even in the shady comer 
and under trees, and in June is a mass of lovely soft pink flowers similar in color to our well-known 
mountain laurel. It will develop into a nice individual specimen, but is most happy and effective 
when planted in generous masses. Our stock is collected high up on the table lands of the Allegheny 
Mountains in Pennsylvania, where it is so very cold and exposed to such severe weather conditions that 
even the native trees are dwarfed in growth.
