Rhododendron maximum, Linn. Great Laurel. Fig. 3387. Shrub, or small tree, attaining 35 ft.: lvs. mostly acute at base, narrow-oblong or lanceolate-oblong, acute or shortly acuminate, whitish beneath, 4-10 in. long: clusters many-fld.; pedicels viscid; calyx-lobes oval, as long as ovary; corolla campanulate, deeply 5-lobed with oval lobes, usually rose-colored, spotted greenish within, about 1 1/2 in. across; ovary glandular. June, July. Nova Scotia and Ont. to Ga. B.M. 951. Em. 2:435. Mn. 1:1 and 3, p. 22. C.L.A. 3:32; 4:105. G.W. 15, p. 623.—This is one of the hardiest species, being hardy as far north as Que. and Ont. Three varieties have been distinguished: var. album, Pursh (R. Purshii, Don), with white fls.; var. purpureum, Pursh (R. purpureum, Don), with purple fls., and var. roseum, Pursh, with pink fls. This species and the following are now often extensively used in park-planting and taken by the carloads from the woods. If properly handled and taken from a turfy soil with a sufficient ball of earth around the roots, they are usually successfully transplanted.
