RHODODENDRON CAROLINIANUM 
A New American Species 
Clear Pink • Absolutely Hardy. 
The smallest Alleghanian species; though wild, it attains a 
height of 15 feet and is wide-spreading. Leaves dark green, 
usually blunt and narrow, covered with rusty dots below, 
much smaller than either maximum or catawbiense. Flower- 
clusters appear in greatest profusion in June, covering the 
plant with a rose-colored mantle. Fine for rocky slopes or 
hill-sides, standing exposure unusually well, and invaluable 
as a single specimen or for massing with the other species.

RHODODENDRON CATAWBIENSE 
Of the Carolina Mountains 
The Hardiest of all Rhododendrons 
It was this magnificent Rhododendron that over a hundred 
years ago was introduced into Europe, supplying, together 
with Rhododendron maximum and R. punctatum, color and 
hardy blood to the cultivated “hybrids 1 ’, but with a conse- 
“And to paint these home pictures we need chiefly 
American material. We must face this deadly parallel: 
“What We Really Plant. 70% European trees and 
shrubs and horticultural varieties. 20% Chinese and 
Japanese. 10% American. 
“What We Ought To Plant. 70% American trees and 
shrubs, 1. e., native to America. 20% Chinese and 
Japanese. 10% European find horticultural.”

Gardening.”
