The llowers of the hardy named Rhododendrons are much 

 riclier ia color than those of Rhododendron Maximum, and vary 

 from pale blush or white to deepest red, crimson and purple. 

 The beautiful evergreen foliage is smaller than that of the native 

 R. Maximum, forming a magnificent background for the blossoms, 

 which appear late in May and early June and last several weeks. 



Prices of well-budded plants of the best and really hardy 

 named varieties range from seventy-five dollars per hundred up. 

 and the hardy Seedlings — grown from seed of the best named 

 varieties — from thirty-five dollars per hundred up. 



In planting the larger Rhododendron Maximum in the center, 

 or as a background of the bed or border, with the Named or 

 Seedling Hybrids toward the edges and border, a most striking 

 and beautiful effect can be obtained at lowest cost. In this way 

 a group is obtained of gradually increasing height and of the 

 right proportion, and the blooming season lengthened to a period 

 of nearly two months, and if the bed is edged with some low- 

 growing evergreen shrubs a permanently beautiful effect is 

 secured. 



Prices per carload for these very fine plants of Rhododen- 

 dron Maximum range from tSfiShundred to two hundred and fifty 

 dollars, according to size of specimens desired. • 



For a number of carloads — and for carloads of Rhododen- 

 drons, with smaller specimen plants of the beautiful native Laurel, 

 Kalmia Latifolia — special prices on early orders will be made. 



For further particulars of the above, also for the Best Named 

 and Native Hardy AZALEAS, KALMIAS, and all other fine hardy Shrubs, 

 Trees, etc., see Catalogues, and address,
