maximum, ROSEBAY RHODODENDRON. 
Rhododendron maximum or Rosebay Rhodo¬ 
dendron is without doubt the noblest of 
American broadleaf shrubs. It is found 
grov/ing sparingly in New England and New 
York, more abundantly in the Pennsylvania 
mountains, but reaching perfection only in the 
Southern Alleghany Mountains, where it grows 
in such luxuriance as to form a striking feature 
in the mountain landscape. Its large, waxy 
white or delicately pink flowers appear in large 
trusses in July, the latest of all the Rhododen¬ 
drons, greatly enhancing its ornamental value 
as a broadleaf evergreen for finished landscape 
effect.
