Where the 
Snowbird Nests 
This charming view was taken on 
Beautiful Mt. LeConte in the Great 
Smoky Mountains at over 6000 feet 
elevation. The dainty box-leaved 
Alleghany Sandmyrtle (Leiophyllum 
buxifolium prostratum) mantles the 
rugged cliffs with starry white in a 
brilliant setting of the bright pink 
Carolina Rhododendron (R. caro- 
linianum) and the larger purple 
Catawba Rhododendron (R. cataw- 
biense) while in the background is 
seen a storm-scarred but rugged 
Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri). This is 
the home of our most beautiful and 
rare American Trees, Shrubs and 
Plants, many of them introduced to 
American Gardens by Harlan P. Kel¬ 
sey through the Kelsey-Highlands 
Nursery. Visit these wonderful soft- 
hazy Mountains with their brilliant 
flower display and verdure clad 
slopes if you can; and then let us 
introduce to your home landscapes 
these floral treasures, for we have 
them growing by thousands for your 
use and pleasure,
