Kelsey s Hardy American Plan ts 
w Carolina Mountain Flowers 
HIGHLANDS NURSERY, KAWANA, NORTH CAROLINA 
i 
At an elevation of nearly 4000 feet, is located in the high North Carolina Mountains, the famous summer resort region of the South. The wealth 
of beautiful native plants growing here is tropical in luxuriance, although Alpine in hardiness, the thermometer rarely reaching 20 degrees below zero, 
Fahrenheit. 
The gorgeous thickets of Rhododendrons, miles in extent, are world-famed, while the display of the flame-colored Azalea ( A. lutea) on the 
mountain sides is a dazzling picture, never forgotten when once seen. The mission of the Highlands Nursery is in introducing these rare hardy plants, 
particularly where they can be used in producing broad landscape effects in large Estates, Parks and Hotel Grounds, Resorts, etc., where permanent 
results of the highest character are desired. 
No other class of ornamental plants are so beautiful for the lawn, are so free from disease, or require so little expense and attention when once 
established. 
We sell all of these rare things, and collect and grow the best hardy native trees, shrubs and plants from all over the United States, especially 
those of the Southern Allegheny Mountains, making an establishment that is unique in the horticultural world. 
Last spring we shipped 30 car loads of Rhododendron maximum w The Great American Rose Bay ” to Greystone, Yonkers, New York, Samuel 
Untermyer, Esq. These made a grand showing the past summer and out of the 30 car loads there was practically no loss. 
We also plan and plant grounds, large and small, making a skilful use of these beautiful native plants, and combining them where desirable with 
the most suitable exotics to produce fine lawn effects. 
The office of the Highlands Nursery is in Boston, where those interested may have fuller information and travelers visiting Highlands Nursery at 
Kawana, North Carolina are always welcome. 
An elegantly Illustrated Catalogue of these Hardy American Plants and Carolina Mountain Flowers will be ready in February and pamphlets 
and information arc now ready. All free to applicants. Address,
