^Rhododendron maximum 
The Great American Rosebay 
Perfectly Hardy in the Latitude of Quebec 
Rhododendron maximum is, without doubt, the noblest of American 
broad-leaved shrubs. It is found growing sparingly in New England and 
New York, more abundantly in w 
the Penasylvania mountains, but 
reaching perfection only in tlio 
southern Alleghany mountains, 
where it grows in such luxuriance 
as to form a striking feature in the 
mountain landscape. large, 
waxy white or delicately pink flowers 
appear in large trusses in July, t.he 
latest of all the Rhododendrons, 
greatly enhancing its orna- 
mental value as a broad-leaved 
evergreen for finished land- 
scape effect. 
Not even in /Vsia do Rho- 
dodendrons grow more luxu¬ 
riantly than in our southern 
Alleghany mountains, 
where they attain a 
iieight of 30 feet or 
more. The>^ must bo
