RHODODENDRON. RosE Bat - 



Rhododendron maximum, properly grouped. 



The Rhododendron is conceded by landscape gardeners and other horticultural ex- 

 perts to be among the most beautiful and valuable of all hardy plants. In addition to the 

 annu.nl festival of bloom they furnish in June, their broad massive, elegant foliage win for 

 them first place in the estimation and admiration of many. The number of named hybrids 

 are legion, many of which are not entirely hardy in America. I, therefore, have reduced my 

 list to the following "iron-clad" varieties; those which hav e been tried and not found want- 

 ing. They are, however, among the most beautiful of all Rhododendrons.
