NATIVE 
RHODODENDRON 
These handsome, broad-leaved evergreens are 
found growing naturally in the mountain ranges 
from the Carolinas north to Maine. Rhododen¬ 
dron maximum, R. catawbiense, and R. caro- 
linianum are reliably hardy in New England. 
They can be grown to perfection if given the 
proper location and soil conditions. Any well- 
drained, moist, cool soil, which does not contain 
lime or heavy clay, will prove satisfactory. 
Connecticut Valley soil is naturally acid and 
adapted to Rhododendrons, but it is well to 
prepare the bed with plenty of leaf-mold and 
humus. They do best when planted in beds 
sheltered against drying winds and burning sun. 
Water well and mulch winter and summer with 
a 12-inch layer of leaves. 
Our nursery includes several acres of these 
plants growing under ideal conditions. We shall 
be proud and pleased to show them to you. 
Rhododendron carolinianum. Carolina Rhododen¬ 
dron. Small, narrow leaves, dark green above 
and covered with brownish dots beneath. 
Clusters of clear rose-pink flowers appear in May, 
before the new shoots start their growth. 
Rhododendron catawbiense. Catawba Rhododen¬ 
dron. One of the most beautiful Rhododendrons. 
A prolific bloomer with flowers produced in large 
trusses and in various shades of pink.

«-« MOUNTAIN 
LAUREL 
Born in America, but a true aristocrat. 
Laurel grows naturally in the northeastern 
United States and has been adopted as the 
State Flower of Pennsylvania and Con¬ 
necticut. The shrub is popular, perfectly 
hardy, and next to rhododendron is our 
most beautiful flowering evergreen. Its 
green foliage and shell-pink flowers need 
no description. The plants require the 
same general soil-conditions and treatment 
given rhododendrons, but are not quite so 
particular. 
You will find thousands of bushy, 
shapely plants in our nursery, ready to 
bring their beauty to your grounds.
