RHODODENDRON. 



The Rhododendron is one of the most valuable of our 

 hardy decorative plants. The leaves are broad, green and 

 glossy, and when planted in groups, or belts, or alone, 

 have a cheerful appearance in the midst of winter. In 

 June the masses of rich and glossy green are surmounted 

 by scarlet, purple and white clusters, each cluster large 

 enough for a bouquet. They bear pruning well, and can 

 be kept down to 2 feet, or allowed to grow 6 or S feet; as 

 standards, they are jiarticularly 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 nmlch the ground during the 

 summer, and a jirotection of leaves and brush during the 

 first winter will be beneficial. The finest varieties are the 

 Hybrids of Catawbiensis, from which our stock is especially 

 selected with reference to hardiness. We offer a choice 

 collection of plants from 12 to 24 inches high, bushy and
