CATALOG OF HIGHLANDS NURSERY 
Information 
HIGHLANDS NURSERY SHIPMENTS are made from 
Pineola, N. C., freight station, and prices in this list are 
made on this basis. Freight and express rates gladly 
quoted. Via Norfolk Steamship Lines, deliveries to northern 
and eastern points are quick and rates low. 
SALEM AND BOXFORD NURSERIES SHIPMENTS 
are made from Salem or Boxford direct, and Salem and Box- 
ford price-lists must be used in ordering. Prices are 
about 25 per cent higher than for similar stock at our main 
Highlands Nursery. A fine stock of specimen Rhdodea- 
drons, Azaleas, Conifers, etc., may be seen at Salem and 
Boxford Nurseries, and deliveries to eastern points rarely 
take more than a day or two. 
SHIPMENTS OF “COLLECTED” RHODODENDRON 
M AXIM UM AND KALMIAS are from our special fields in 
Pennsylvania and the South, depending on destination and 
quality of stock desired. The best clumps come from the 
South from high altitudes. 
“COLLECTED” RHODODENDRON CATAWBIENSE 
AND RHODODENDRON CAROLINIANUM (PUNC- 
TATUM) come only from the South. 
OUR NURSERIES ARE UNIQUE, being the first and only 
to grow Native American Ornamentals, and we now have the 
only large and complete stock of Hardy American Plants in 
existence. 
THE LOCATION OF HIGHLANDS NURSERY also is 
unique, an elevation of 3,800 feet insuring unquestioned 
hardiness. 
SHIPPING BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER, when we send 
out large Rhododendrons, Kalmias, and other evergreens, and 
bulbs and herbaceous plants, general stock going out in Octo¬ 
ber and November, and in spring from about March 1 to 
May 15. Give shipping instructions, unless you wish to leave 
it to us. We use our best judgment but assume no risk. 
OUR EXPORT SHIPMENTS reach the most remote 
countries in perfect condition; we have exported for over 25 
years, and know how to pack. 
A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOG, beautifully illustrated, is 
gladlv mailed on request, and advice on the right way to grow 
Rhododendrons, Azaleas and other native plants gladly given.
