American Plants. 



RHODODENDRONS. 



These fine evergreens, with their magnificent flowers, are un- 

 equalled for the decoration of pleasure grounds. The stock in this 

 nursery is of the finest quality, and almost of boundless extent. 

 Nearly the whole of the large Standard Rhododendrons planted in 

 Rotten Row, Hyde Park, were supplied from here ; and the Exhibi- 

 tions of Rhododendrons held annually in the Royal Horticultural 

 Garden, South Kensington, consist entirely of specimen plants se- 

 lected from the Knaphill collection. 



HARDY SCARLET, AA;^HITE, AND OTHER 

 RHODODENDRONS. 



We supply selections of Rhododendrons at from ;^s to J^\o 

 per 100. The plants are healthy and bushy, and such as may be 

 planted out in any situation at once. They comprise varieties of 

 nearly all shades of colour. Many of them are from layers, and we 

 believe that they are altogether the best plants ever offered by any 

 nurseryman. We shall gladly send samples on application, ' that 

 being the only possible way of giving a correct idea of the value of 

 the plants, a mere statement of height being, in such cases, utterly 

 delusive. 



Purchasers of Rhododendrons who may be unacquainted with 

 the different kinds by name, and who are willing to leave the selection 

 to us, may depend on receiving those sorts only which after many 

 years' observation we have found to be the most showy, and certain 

 to thrive under ordinary treatment. A descriptive list of the kinds 

 will be forwarded on application. 



RHODODENDRON PONTICUM. 

 The cheapest of all Rhododendrons, being raised from seed in 

 large quantities. It is less particular as to soil than most other sorts, 

 and is extensively planted in game preserves, being never eaten by 

 hares or rabbits, however numerous they may be. We are prepared 

 to supply it at the following rates : — 



PoNTicuM (Common), nice, well-rooted, and stout plants 15^. per 100. 



— ditto, about i ft. - - - - - - 2 1 j. „ 



— ditto, 12 to 18 in. - - - - 30^-. and 42s. „ 



— larger plants, 6s., gs., 12s., and xZs. per dozen. 



STANDARD RHODODENDRONS. 



Of these noble plants we possess much the finest specimens 

 anywhere to be found, and in much larger numbers than in any 

 other nursery. Many of them are from twenty to forty years of 

 age, and have compact well-balanced heads measuring from 15 feet 

 to 30 feet in circumference. 



WHEN IN FLOWER THESE ARE OBJECTS OF WONDERFUL BEAUTY.
