Hardy Rhododendrons. 
These aside from Coniferse, are the most important Evergreens in cultivation. The foliage is handsome all 
tne year, nut the superb flower cones are the chief charm of the family. We keep a fl e assortment of the best 
varieties of the hybrids of R. Catawbiense and R. maximum, all of which constitute our beat sorts, thoroughly 
nardy tor outdoor planting. Rhododendrons grow well in any good loamy soil moderately enriched with vegetable 
moia. A mulch over their roots in summer and a slight protection in winter greatly benefit them. Cut off all 
dead flowers and seed pods.

Roses. 
IN praise of the Rose nothing new or important remains to be said. No flower will ever supersede it in popular 
estimation— not even the Orchid, so often counted as its rival. Our position as the largest commercial Orchid 
growers in America is well known, yet we affirm that one flower is as fair as the other, each having a distinctive 
beauty all its ovpn. At Rose Hill Nurseries the "Queen of Flowers" receives attention equally with Palms 
Orchids and Berns. We grow immense quantities for cut blooms, nnd test carefully all the sorts offered, retaining 
only those that pa,ss the crucial trial of the New York rose-buying public, which quickly rejects anything not no 
to a high standard in color, form and fragrance. We also have carefully grown plants of the many superb hardv 
Boses withou-, which no place, however small, is complete. -> «- j
