Although it has not made the out-door culture of exotics a 

 speciality, 



TREMOUGH 

 cannot be lightly passed over, for to ignore grounds which have 

 earned a well merited fame for their almost unique collection of 

 Sikkim Rhododendrons, and which have a variety of interesting 

 herbacious material, would be to lay this paper open to condign 

 censure. An enthusiast in gardening in general, it was on 

 Rhododendrons in particular that the late Mr. William Shilson 

 lavished his time and money. With him they ranked as the 

 aristocracy of the vegetable kingdom ; and the strong way in 

 which they appealed to him, together with the marked facilities 

 which Tremough offered for their culture, let him to surround 

 himself with an amazing number of the better kinds. Among 

 the exotics grown at Tremough, those worthy of mention are : 



Aralia Sieboldii. 



,, spinosa, 20 feet high. 



Azalea amoena. 



,, indica alba, and others. 



Benthamia fragifera. 



Cassia corymbosa.
