| Curtivation.—The plant figured was grown in the 
garden of J, ©. Williams, Esq., Caerhays Castle, Gorran, 
Cornwall, a most enthusiastic collector and cultivator of 
Rhododendra, and was presented to Kew through Messrs. 
James Veitch & Sons, by whom it was introduced into culti- 
vation through their collector, Mr. Wilson. He described it 
as a bush from 4 to 8 ft. high, with white flowers, growing 
at from 5,500 to 8,000 ft. At Coombe Wood this plant has 
proved hardy, and Mr. Harrow, Messrs. Veitch & Sons’ 
manager there, says it appears to prefer a rather shaded 
position and a light loam rather than peat. It is, he says, 
very free-flowering, small plants of it being now covered 
with flower buds. The plant first flowered at Coombe 
Wood in May, 1904. In Mr. Williams’s garden also the 
flowers were developed in May.— W. Warson. |
