The Sikkim rhododendrons discovered by Dr 

 Joseph Hooker amount to forty-three species. 

 The most striking amongst them are, however, 

 Edgworthii, Griffithii, Dalhouaise, and Maddeni, 

 remarkable for their large white flowers ; Thomp- 

 soni and fulgens for their rich blood-coloured 

 flower; argenteum, on account of its fine foliage; 

 Wightii, lanatum, and campylocarpum, for their 

 yellowish blooms; Falconerii and Hodsoni, for 

 their large leaves and dense globular inflorescens ; 

 glaucum, nivale,el8eagnoides,salignum, pusiUum, 

 pumUum, &c., for their small, neat, and truly 

 Alpine character. These latter are fit tenants 

 for a greenhouse or cold pit ; while the former 

 will add greatly to the richness of the green- 

 house, conservatory, or oamelliarhouse, especially 

 while in bloom. 



§ 11. — FLOWER- FORCING HOUSE OR 

 PITS. 



In every establishment where a profusion of 

 flowering plants is required during winter and 

 early spring, whether for the decoration of the 

 drawing-room, conservatory, or greenhouse, it is 

 quite indispensable that forcing-pits or houses 

 be provided, for without these no great display 

 can be expected. In vol. i. a great variety of 

 examples are given of pits adapted to various 

 purposes; figs. 671, 672, 673, if not perfect 

 specimens, may with slight modifications be 

 adapted to this purpose. Melon pits or 

 houses, which during winter may be unoc- 

 cupied by their legitimate inhabitants, may 

 be taken advantage of from the beginning of 

 November to the beginning of February or 

 March, for the purpose of forcing flowers ; fig. 

 652 may be offered as an excellent example
