COLLECTED CAROLINA MOUNTAIN PLANTS 
RHODODENDRONS IN NORTH CAROLINA 
KELSEY’S 
HARDY NATIVE COLLECTED 
RHODODENDRONS, AZALEAS, MOUNTAIN- 
LAUREL, LEUCOTHOE, ANDROMEDAS 
FROM THE CAROLINA MOUNTAINS 
The high Carolina Mountain district has always been the finest source of supply for collected 
Native Broadleaf Evergreens, Azaleas, etc. Harlan P. Kelsey was the first and for many years the 
only substantial source for these loveliest of hardy ornamental plants, many of which he introduced 
to cultivation. 
Brilliance and variety of flower effect, a long season of bloom and rich foliage can be quickly 
and inexpensively attained with these plants. 
We here offer the highest grade of material, all heavy, fresh dug clumps, carefully balled and 
burlapped. This super-grade stock is far superior to the usual mixed and light grades of collected 
stock usually sent out, and yet the prices are very reasonable. Do not be deceived, but buy and plant 
the best. 
We recommend the use of this economical material for parks, large estates, roadside plantings and 
general landscape use, where rich effects of foliage and flower will add to the landscape. These species 
can also be supplied in nursery grown material in most sizes. For these and other varieties, see 
Azaleas, Page 19; Rhododendrons, Page 14; Leucothoe, Page 13; Andromeda, Page 15; and Kalmia, 
Page 13. 
Carlot purchases are the most economical. See right hand columns for prices and average 
number in a car. Prices are f.o.b. No. Carolina and you pay the freight. Ask us for estimate of 
freight cost of any carload to any point in United States. 
Smaller quantities are sold f.o.b. East Boxford, being shipped directly here and being repacked 
for delivery to individual customers. Due to increased cost of handling less than carlot quantities, 
prices are somewhat higher but still provide a very economical means of planting large areas. 
On less than carlot quantities, orders will be accepted as follows: 
Until April 15 for delivery before May 15 
Until May 10 for delivery before June 1 
Until Sept. 1 for delivery before Oct. 1 
Until Oct. 10 for delivery before Nov. 1 
Until Nov. 10 for delivery before Dec. 1
