with Remarks on their Management. 



437 



these woods is a black light loam ; but, in some places, the rhododendrons 

 are planted in strong soil, where they also do well. 



They all require to be well watered, more particularly when in flower, which 

 continues their bloom much longer, and causes them to push out strong 

 healthy shoots. 



The best way of propagating them is from seed, which being sown in a 

 gently heated frame, the plants soon make their appearance, and, if properly 

 attended to, will flower in four or five years. 



I have remarked, also, that the warmer the season is, the better they 

 blossom the following one; the flower buds being more numerous, and brought 

 to a greater degree of maturity.
