Rhododendron carolinianum, Proctor's Rock Garden, Topsfield 
Rhododendron carolinianum 
A new species. Clear pink 
The smallest Alloghanian species, though it often attains a height of 15 
foot and is wide-spreading. A vory graceful shrub, with totally different 
aspect from the two species preceding. Loaves dark green, usually blunt 
and narrow, covored with rusty dots below, much smaller than either 
maximum or catawbicnsc. Flower-clusters appear in greatest profusion 
in Juno, covering the plant with a rose-colored mantle. Fine for rocky 
slopes or hillsides, standing exposure unusually well, and invaluable as a 
•ingle specimen or for massing with the other species. 
Until this year wo have boon sending this beautiful and rare species 
out under the name of punctatum. Prof. Sargent has recently called 
attention to the fact that it is a distinct species from the punctatum 
differing in time of bloom, with more showy and profuse flowers, and 
making a much largor and finer plant than the punctatum. 
It is now known as Rhododendron carolinianum, being described 
and named l>y Alfred Itehdor, Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Moss. 
The above illustration is from a photograph by Mr. Kelsey, May 21, 
1013, at an estate in Topafiold, Mass.
