SPRINGFIELD, N. /. 
RHODODENDRON— Continued Each Ten Hundred 
maximum. 12'-15' (Nursery Grown) Rosebay Rhododendron 
EVERGREEN. Essentially a shade plant, the "Great 
Laurel" forms the backbone of most woods plantings, where 
the leathery six inch leaves are of even greater land¬ 
scape value than the pale pink flowers. Late May 
and June is "laurel season" but if happily placed in acid 
soil, preferably in masses, the rich foliage effect is pleas¬ 
ing and dignified the year round.

racemosum. l'-2' Mayflower Rhododendron 
EVERGREEN. Quite variable but with us a delightful 
shrublet that is almost prostrate making a little pad of 
rich shiny green leaves about an inch long. When the 
racemes of pale pink flowers appear in May it looks 
almost like a glorified Trailing Arbutus. Nice rock plant.

Wilson 
Rhododendron 
EVERGREEN. 
According to the 
collector, 
E. H. Wilson, 
this is one of the most beautiful of Chinese Rhododen¬ 
drons, and even though the flesh pink flowers are not 
remarkable with us, it is distinctly valuable for foliage.

Most of our native plants, ferns, and the doubtful 
movers such as Poppies are grown in pots for con¬ 
venience and safety in planting.
