RHODODENDRONS. It is almost superfluous to dwell upon the beauty of this class 
of plants. Broad, dark green foliage, and great trusses of gorgeous tints. Plant 
them in a spot partially sheltered from intense heat in summer and from the cut- 
ing winds of winter. The latter can be met by using evergreen boughs as a 
winter covering. The bed ought to be filled in with old sods, old manure and 
sand, and what is better still, with some leaf mould, which helps to form an idea! 
soil which does not allow the drying of the roots in summer droughts. Heavy 
mulching of the beds in summer is an excellent preventative, and in dry weather 
the beds must be thoroughly soaked. Pinch off all seed pods after flowering, in 
order to get good buds for next season. In the fall, mulch the beds a foot or 
more with leaves, and, if these can be left to decay, it is advisable to do so. Large 
well budded plants, in the hardiest named varieties. Each, $2.50 ; 
Album Grandiflorum. Blush white. 
Everestianum. Rosy Lilac.
