BLOOMING RHODODENDRONS Now is the season to view Pennsylvania's most ornamental evergreen shrubs, the rhododendron, in its full blooming glory according to John W. Keilar, deputy secretary of the Department of Forests and Waters, who has received reports of the early appearance of its flowers from various parte of the State. Unlike the common mountain taruel, which grows naturally in great profusion along highways, the rhododendron is a shrub of the wild- woods. The place to find it in its greatest beauty is in the mountain sections of the State and along the borders of the swamps and near streams, where it often spreads over extjen&rvie areas forming impenetrable jungles of great beauty. Although the mountain laurel and rhododendron belong to the same botanical family, explained Keller, it to simple to distinguish one from the other. The leaves of the rhododendrons are usually twice as long as those of the laurel and its flowers are originally of a deep rose or purplish color, whereas those of the faurel are pink or white. Its sonor- 'ous name is derived from the Greek which means "rose tree." There are ten kinds of rhododendrons nativ* to North America,, but only one to Pennsylvania which to the rhododendron maximum.. Although the rhododendron is found naturally throughout the State, it is most abundant in the Poconos of northeastern Pennsylvania .and in so-called Black Forest region of north-central Pennsylvania. The extensive rhododendron thickets which People Who Vi.it Here and Those Who Go Away.

BLOOMING RHODODENDRONS Now is the season to view Pennsylvania's most ornamental evergreen shrubs, the rhododendron, in its full blooming glory according to John W. Keilar, deputy secretary of the Department of Forests and Waters, who has received reports of the early appearance of its flowers from various parte of the State. Unlike the common mountain taruel, which grows naturally in great profusion along highways, the rhododendron is a shrub of the wild- woods. The place to find it in its greatest beauty is in the mountain sections of the State and along the borders of the swamps and near streams, where it often spreads over extjen&rvie areas forming impenetrable jungles of great beauty. Although the mountain laurel and rhododendron belong to the same botanical family, explained Keller, it to simple to distinguish one from the other. The leaves of the rhododendrons are usually twice as long as those of the laurel and its flowers are originally of a deep rose or purplish color, whereas those of the faurel are pink or white. Its sonor- 'ous name is derived from the Greek which means "rose tree." There are ten kinds of rhododendrons nativ* to North America,, but only one to Pennsylvania which to the rhododendron maximum.. Although the rhododendron is found naturally throughout the State, it is most abundant in the Poconos of northeastern Pennsylvania .and in so-called Black Forest region of north-central Pennsylvania.
