HARDY RHODODENDRONS. Thesesuperb 

 plants are indispensable in giving effectiveness 

 and character to the planting of all ornamental 

 grounds. In solid masses and bordei-s they are 

 incomparably fine. They can be easily grown 

 with perfect success. Although adapted to a 

 shaded situation, they will flourish in any good 

 loamy soil, moderately enriched with well- 

 rotted leaf-mould, cow manure or well-rotted 

 sod. The plants should always be arranged in 

 good sized beds or masses, and, when first 

 planted, set as close ' as two or thi'ee feet 

 apart. The beds or borders should not be less 

 than two or three feet deep, and the plants 

 mulched or otherwise kept in moist condition 

 at the roots. It is drought in moist cases that 

 injures the plants, not the cold weather, as is 

 generally &-upposed. The seed pods should 

 always be removed after flowering. My plants 

 this season are unusually fine, and of the 

 strictly hardy varieties for this climate. I 

 offer them, as heretofore, in case collection.s 

 OF 25, 50 AND 100 PLANTS TO THE CASE. These 

 cases contain a choice selection of the best 

 hardy named varieties of assorted colors for 

 group or mass planting., for immediate effect. 

 Particular varieties can be supplied by the 

 hundred or thousand at lowesrt prices for well- 

 budded, reliable plants. These are the cheap- 

 est and best. There is no experiment in trying 

 them. Every plant will grow, and will bloom 

 nicely the first season. Bushy plants with buds, 

 about 18 inches, $9 per dozen, -STO per 100. 

 Bushy, well-budded plants, selected, about 2 

 feet, SIO per dozen, S80 per 100; extra, $15 per 

 dozen, IIOO and $125 per 100.
