Oakmount, the Residence of Mrs. Francis B. Hates. 



June 12th, the Committee with other invited guests visited the 

 estate of Mrs. Francis B. Hayes, at Lexington, the chief object 

 of the visit being the elegant display of Rhododendrons under the 

 large tent, seventy-five by one hundred and fifty feet, arranged 

 with two long beds the entire length on either side, and two semi- 

 circular beds at each end. These were all planted with hardy 

 varieties which stand there the entire season. In the centre of 

 the tent is a large oval bed, and between this and the end beds are 

 two large square beds, these three beds being filled with tender 

 kinds. At intervals, between these beds, the elegant standard 

 specimens, some nine feet or more in height, are planted in the 

 grass. 



The varieties deserving special note and which were particularly 

 attractive are : 



Annie Dixwell. — Clear rose, blotched with a rich magenta. 



Apology. — Pale rose, blotched very thickly. 



Candidissimum. — Thirteen feet high; the flowers are blush, 

 changing to white. 



Concessum. — Clear pink, lighter centre. Mr. Waterer says 

 there is none more beautiful. 



Crown Prince. — A very bright rose, yellow centre. 



Duke of Teck.
