Garden Variety. 



A most beautiful plant obtained by Mr. Watercr of Knap- 

 liill between R. arboreum and caucasicum. It is of rather 

 delicate appearance, but we are informed that it is quite 

 hardy, and an abundant flowerer. Our drawing was made 

 in March last. 



Fig. 1 is a kind called Rhododendron Nobleanum, which 

 is very much like the other in all respects, except that its 

 flowers are of a deep and brilliant rose colour. 



Both are among the handsomest hardy shrubs in cultiva- 

 tion.
