RHODODENDRONS 
AUGUSTINI—The ‘blue’ rhododendron. Precariously hardy here but very 
striking when and where it does well. Seedlings from a parent plant that 
has been growing in the open here for over twenty years with some slight 
injury to the plant at times but often losing its buds. 4 in. pots, $1.50 
BAGSHOT RUBY—Blood crimson flowers very brilliant but the plant may 
need a somewhat protected situation. It has not been injured here in three 
winters. 10-12 in., $4.00 
BEAUFORT—Nevw, early white with very fragrant flowers, good foliage and 
plant habit. Our introduction and a definite improvement on the common 
commercial whites generally offered. Stock limited. 6-12 in., $5.00 
BRACHYCARPUM—tThis hardy species from Japan is all too little known in 
the Eastern U. S., forming wel! shaped plants with beautiful dark green 
foliage and late creamy white flowers lightly striped with pink. Have good 
stock of plants too large to ship. 6-10 ft., $10.00 - $15.00 
CAROLINE—Another hybrid which we are again offering this season. 
A superlative plant at all seasons and bearing abundant large pale 
orchid flowers that are quite fragrant. Early mid-season. It has yet to be 
injured here by winter cold. 8-12 in., $5.00; 12-15 in., $8.00 
CATAWBIENSE ALBUM (Glass)—A white flowered form of Rhod. Cataw- 
biense that comes true from seeds. Discovered by the late Mr. Powell Glass. 
6-8 ins., $2.00; 12-18 in., $4.00 
CHAPMANNI XK MUCRONULATUM—-A first generation cross that is growing 
lustily but flowers unseen so far. 12-18 in., $2.00 
CONEMAUGH—A hybrid of Rhododendron racemosum and R. mucronu- 
latum, with very early pink flowers. Rather tall growing. 6-12 in., $2.00 
CYNTHIA—Beautiful large rosy crimson flowers. Should be given a spot 
protected from high winds and full winter sun—a site that will make any 
rhododendron feel more at home! 10-12 in. $5.00 
DISCOLOR—tThis is one of the very finest exotic species that may be grown 
in our climate. It hails from West Centra] China and has been described as 
“E. H. (Chinese) Wilson’s second best discovery.’ What interests us is that 
it is hardy in our part of the world in partially shaded woodland sites 
where it opens its great white or pale blush blossoms in late June. Normally 
grows into a tree twelve to fifteen feet high but more often seen as a large 
shrub. 8-12 in., $2.00 
DISCOLOR HYBRIDS—Unflowered and co'ors unknown. 4-6 ft., $10 - $15 
FORTUNEI—Very large blush pink fragrant flowers and dependably hardy 
with us. Another so called ‘“‘tree” species that hardly reaches that stature in 
cultivation but is often tree-like in habit. The corolla is seven lobed instead 
of the usual five. Rhododendron Fortunei is quite free from all insect damage 
—in fact almost immune—and this also applies to its close relatives R. 
discolor and R. decorum. All hybrids of these species seem to partake of 
these pest resistant characters to a great extent. I have yet to observe a 
single lace bug or white fly on them and leaf eating worms rarely touch 
them, Fortunei itself, perhaps never. Large sizes, 6-8 ft., on application. 
4 in. pots, $1.00; 6-8 in. pots, $1.50
