RHODODENDRONS. 
The Rhododendron is one of the most valuable of our hardy decorative plants. 
In June the ends of the branches 
are covered with large clusters of beautiful flowers. They bear pruning well, and can be kept down to 2 feet or allowed 
to grow 6 or 8 feet; as standards, they are particularly fine. 
They require only a good garden soil, which should be dug at least two feet deep and mixed with some leaf mould 
or peat; it is also well to mulch the ground during the summer, and protect with leaves or brush during the first 
winter. The finest varieties are the Hybrids of Catawbiensis, from which our stock is selected with reference to hardi- 
ness. We offer a choice collection of plants from 12 to 24 inches high, bushy and well established, ranging in célor 
from the purest white through all the shades of rose, pink, purple and crimson. 
$1.00 each ; $10.00 per doz.; $65.00 per 100. Plants set with buds, $1.50 each ; $15.00 per doz. ; $100 per 100.

Foreign Grape Vines. 
(For Growing Under Glass.) 
people are deterred from growing exotic grapes owing to 
the opinion that they are difficult to grow, or require some specially 
and equipped house. Nothing, however, is farther from the 
truth than these ideas, for with an ordinary greenhouse and atten- 
tion fine crops of fruit may be obtained with very little labor and 
expense.
