Rhododendrons are probably the most 
important of all flowering shrubs because 
of their striking display when covered with 
huge clusters of showy blooms during the 
flowering season and because of their 
handsome appearance even when not in 
bloom. The rich green of the broad leathery 
foliage is enough to make them an attrac¬ 
tive sight throughout the entire year. 
They thrive in semi-shade and must have 
an acid soil with plenty of moisture but 
with good drainage. 
Carolinianum. A compact plant 3 to 5 
feet tall, with handsome foliage and 
clusters of lovely flowers changing from 
pale rose to deep pink during the month 
of May. Very hardy and therefore the 
best type for very cold locations. 15 to 
18 in., $2.75 each. 18 to 24 in., $3.00. 
Gatawbiense. Vigorous evergreen 4 to 6 
feet high, with rich foliage and trusses 
of rosy purple flowers which appear in 
June. The ancestor of most of our 
hybrid varieties. 18 to 24 in., $3.50 
each. 2 to 2K ft-, 14.50. 
Maximum. The largest native Rhodo¬ 
dendron, growing from 6 to 20 feet high 
and producing large clusters of white or 
blush pink flowers in June and July. 
18 to 24 in., $2.75 each. 2 to 2K ft., 
$3.50. 
Hybrid Rhododendrons 
The rich coloring of the Hybrid Rhodo¬ 
dendrons sets them apart as the most dis¬ 
tinctive of our evergreen planting-material. 
Like the more robust native sorts, these 
Hybrids thrive best in deep, leaf-mold 
soil, protected from strong winds and 
blazing sunlight. The supply of good 
Hybrid Rhododendrons, particularly in the 
dark red shades is unfortunately limited.
