Trees, Shrubs and Plants, Autumn, 1896. 



HARDY RHODODENDRONS, continued, 

 cheapest," and those who have 

 planted most extensively invariably 

 make this question of quality the first 

 consideration. The magnificent effects 

 produced in many fine grounds in 

 different parts of the country where 

 the plants were supplied by me, show 

 the advantage in procuring the best 

 hardy varieties and best quality of 

 this class of stock. 



The letters of commendation I 

 have received from patrons to whom I 

 have sent hundreds and thousands of 

 plants indicate the pleasure to be 

 derived from the use of this reliable 

 miterial. In order to extend the 

 more general use of these fine hardy 

 Rhododendrons, I oflfer them at re- 

 duced prices. For convenience of 

 selection at these prices, I have col- 

 lections : Cases of 25, 50 and 100 

 plants each, each case containing a 

 selection of the best hardy kinds, 

 of distinct colors, and ready for im- 

 mediate planting. The plants are well budded, 

 and as they are taken up with a ball of earth about 

 the roots of each plant, they flower perfectly and 

 most effectively without injury the first season.

 plants, as above, -fviW be supplied at 

 the 100 rate.
