The Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Connecticut. 
Rose-Bay (Rhododen dron Maximum.) 
This native broad-leaf strictly hardy evergreen affords splendid opportunity for no end of 
chaiming 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_ m the shady corner and under trees, and in June is a mass of lovely soft pink flowers sim- 
llai 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. The illustration on this page 
shows a very effective planting made by us three years ago for Mr. John Edward Heaton, of 
r e . W J i l aven ’ Conn ->, requiring three carloads, and with practically no loss. Our stock is col¬ 
lected higB 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. , Certainly Rhododendrons that can thrive under such conditions will thrive almost 
anywhere.
