Rhododendron leitevirens. A tall compact evergreen from 2 to 3 feet high with shining 
green leaves that look like those of the Mountain Laurel. White flowers in large 
clusters in May. This is a rare and lovely hybrid useful as back ground in the 
rock garden, 
Rhododendron mucronatum, A tall upright evergreen Azalea with small scaly green 
leaves and very large fragrant white flowers in May. It grows to about 4 feet high 
but can be sheared to any desired height. A rare species from China that has a 
place in every garden or foundation planting. 
Rhododendron myrtifolium. A very dwarf and compact slow growing evergreen with 
small, pointed leathery leaves and clusters of light pink flowers. A very desirable 
rare hybrid in perfect rock garden size. 
Rhododendron obtusum Hinodigeri. The well known and lovable Flame Azalea. Dense, 
compact growth with dark glossy green evergreen leaves and multitudes of bright 
red flowers in late April and May. It slowly reaches a height of 3 or 4 feet but 
should be trimmed frequently to keep it dwarf. 
Rhododendron obtusum Hino-Crimson. A new improved form of the preceeding with 
bright crimson flowers that hold their color until they fall. A good all around 
evergreen shrub for the rock garden.

Rhododendron obtusum japonicum. An extremely dwarf and very slow growing ever- 
green Azalea made especially for rock gardens. Short twiggy growth with shiny 
green leaves from 4 to 10 inches high and covered with lovely lavender-pink flow- 
ers in late April and May. We had a plant over 30 years old only 10 inches high and 
more than 2 feet across. The color of the flowers varies with exposure and soil 
acidity.
