Why are rhododendrons so ideally adapted to growing on the moist north and east 
sides of the house and 1n high shade? Because they grow naturally in secluded, cool ravines. 
For best growth, do not plant where there are constant strong dry winds. 
CAROLINIANUM (CarolinaRhododendron). MAXIMUM (Rosebay). Known by many 
Many people consider this rhododendron the 
finest of broad-leaved evergreens. It forms a 
compact, rounded shrub which grows from 
4 to 6 feet high and of equal diameter when 
well developed. The flowers range from light 
to deep pink, as clear and pure as that of the 
wild rose, and are borne in such abundance as 
to completely cover the shrub. Three hundred 
blossoms are not uncommon on plants 3 
feet tall. 
CATAWBIENSE (Catawba Rhododendron). 
A strikingly handsome shrub at all seasons of 
the year. Its graceful, elliptical evergreen 
foliage forms a dense background for masses 
of lilac-purple or rosy lilac blossoms borne in 
May and early June. So satisfactory is this 
plant that many hybridizers have used it with 
Asiatic rhododendrons to create the exquisite 
hybrids. 
names—Rosebay, Great Laurel, Rose Tree 
and American Rhododendron—this “king 
size’ among rhododendrons is hardiest of them 
all. Pink and white blooms appear in late 
June or early July. In the southern mountains 
of the United States where it reaches 40 feet 
in height, whole mountainsides are sprayed 
with color when this rhododendron blooms. 
Excellent as a background for smaller shrubs. 
HYBRID RHODODENDRONS. The brilliant 
bloom of the Himalayan rhododendron and the 
robust strength of American stock have been 
blended with skill and consummate patience 
to produce these superb hybrids. Their blooms 
are intensely vivid pinks, whites, Iavenders 
and reds. Because they are hybrids, their 
qualities partake of all the great beauty of the 
Asiatic types, plus the hardiness of the Amert- 
can rhododendrons. They are somewhat less 
particular as to shade and soil conditions.
