RHODODENDRONS AND AZALEAS 
For the convenience of our customers the Rhododendrons and Azaleas are listed on the same page. They re¬ 
quire similar soil conditions and care, and are frequently and successfully planted together with most pleas¬ 
ing results. Given a peaty, acid and well drained soil, these “aristocrats” of the plant kingdom are much 
easier to grow well than is commonly supposed. 
The native American Rhododendrons and Azaleas are the best for American plantings, being in the most 
cases both hardier and more in keeping with our New England landscapes. 
Not even in Asia do Rhododendrons grow so luxuriantly as in our own Southern Allegheny Mountains. 
They must be seen in their native lavishness of growth and bloom, on the Mountainsides or hanging over 
the dashing, ice-cold streams and waterfalls, to be properly appreciated, and a trip to the high Carolina 
Mountains in Spring and early Summer is a never-to-be-forgotten series of joys to the lover of nature.
