*Rhododendron 
It is this magnificent Rhododcndrum that over a hundred years ago was 
introduced into Europe, supplying, together with Rhododendron tnaTtmum 
and R. punctalum, color and hardy blood to the cultivated “hybrids,” but 
with a consequent loss of hardiness; and so today, for American gardens 
where ironclad hardiness is cs.scntia), we must turn to the true original fl|)o- 
cies, found on the Ioftie.st, coldest peaks of the southeni Alleghaiues, where 
it attains a height of 20 to 30 feet. 
Considering the extreme hardiness, color of flower, compact growth and 
remarkable texture of foli.nge, which is a deep, shiny green and fur superior 
to the better known Rhododendron maximum, wo can recommend the true 
native catawbiensc os the finest for general use, witlistanding exposure and 
extremes of temperature where other Rhododendrons fail. 
Do not confuse this true species, which is absolutely hardy, with the 
common so^alled calaw’bicnsc hybrid seedlings so freely imported from 
Europe, which is at best half-hardy, and even when branched above is a 
single stem, showing bareness underneath for years. 
Unlike Rhododendron maximum, it is a very free bloomer, with foliage of 
a dark, rich, lasting green, which never rusts. The trusses are a bright 
red-purple, in marked contrast to the muddy purple of the semi-hardy half- 
breed imported variety noted above and, os sent out by Highlands Nursery 
are always on their own roots. 
For massing to produce a broad-leaved evergreen landscape effect, there 
is no plant equal to it in the latitude of the northern United States and 
Catmda, where strictly hardy plants must be employed. As a rich, finished 
boraer to plantations of the commoner Rhododefuiron maximum and Kalmia 
UUxfolia, the value of Rhododendron catawbienMe cannot be overestimated. 
Do not compare our many-stemmed clumps with the single- 
stemmed. “bushy” hali-hardy Rhododendrons offered by importers. 
There is no comparison.
