STANDARD RHODODENDRONS. 



These are inagnificent plants for outside decoration. They can be grown in tubs or boxes with 

 perfect success. Nothing is more effective in foliage, and wlien iu flower no decorative plant of any kind 

 can compare with them. Thej' are much finer than the imported standard bay trees (Laurus Nobilis), 

 which, though grown in similar form — with straight stems or tninks and round compact heads — lack the 

 hhowy, beautiful flowers of the Rhododendren. The stems are from 2 to 4 or 5 feet, and the heads from 2 

 feet and upwards in diametei'. There are none grown in this country. My importations are the best 

 plants obtainable, and specially selected for my own trade. 



Price, #20 to ^50 per pair. Special quotations per dozen or 100 on application. 



RHODODENDROIVS for Conservatory. Fine, well budded plants of the best forcing varieties, 



-*10 to -*20 per dozen; smaller, •^^(iand Ss per dozen. 



LAURUS NOBILIS. (Sweet Bay Trees.) 



These have been largely used for outside decorations in Europe for many years, and are now being 

 more generally used in this country. Fine standards, with straight stems and solid, compact 

 HEADS. Also, well-shaped Pyramds. Prices on application.
