Rhododendron maximum 
and Kalmia latifolia 
THE GREAT 
AMERICAN ROSE BAY 
THE 
MOUNTAIN LAUREL 
From photograph taken September, 1901. about four months after planting. 
Showing Rhododendron maximum supplied bv us massed along approach road at u Greystone,” Yonkers, 
N. Y.. the estate of Samuel Untermyer, Esq. Out of thirty carloads collected and shipped by us to this estate last 
spring, there was practically no loss. 
The use of collected Rhododendrons and Kalmias for quickly and permanently pro¬ 
ducing fine landscape effects is now well established, and with any reasonable expendi¬ 
ture there is no other possible way to obtain the results to be had by the use of these 
magnificent, hardy broad-leaved evergreens. We have been in the business of collecting 
and growing Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Azaleas and other hardy American plants for 
sixteen years, and our sources of supply arc not only unexcelled, but the long experience 
of our employes renders a commission placed in our hands peculiarly safe. 
Our supply and advantages being unlimited, we arc prepared to accept orders for 
fall or spring delivery, with an assurance of prompt service and satisfactory material that 
must give good results. 
In car-load lots we collect sizes from 2 feet to 10 feet in height, with corresponding diam¬ 
eter; the number to the car, say forty or fifty to three or four hundred, depends entirely on the 
size. We are glad to give prices and all information possible to prospective purchasers. 
Leucothoe catesbaei, Galax aphylla, and the rare Rhododendron cataw- 
BIENSE from the Carolina Mountains we also collect by the car-load; but the peculiar 
conditions of distance from railroads to plant stations, and rather heavy freight rates, 
make their use more limited to the producing of finer finished effects in connection with 
Rhododendron maximum and Kalmia latifolia , or with other planting. The foliage effect 
of these broad-leaved evergreens is beyond comparison, the leaves being rich in color, 
and, excepting Rhododendron and Kalmia, turning brilliant bronze tints in fall and 
winter. Full information for the asking.
