28 THE EHODODENDEON. 



R. Torlonianum and Goveniarmm, both hybrids, 

 are very pretty, but have with us proved rather 

 tender. 



jK. punctatum can hardly be considered a dwarf. 

 It is a pretty plant, but rather insignificant in 

 flower. 



R. ferrugineum, is also rather tall-growing, and is 

 showy in flower. Tliis is the true " Alpen Rose." 



We shall haye more to say of all these in a future 

 chapter, and only mention them in this connection 

 to call special attention to their beauty.
