Rhododendrons 
This, wherever known, is universally acknowl- 
edged to be the most showy, jnagnificcnt, hardy 
evergreen shrub that grows. It will thrive in 
any good soil without anv special preparation, 
and in the full blaze of tiie sun; but it is more 
luxuriant in good, well-prepared soil of leaf-mold 
and muck and peat mixed, and in partial shade. 
The broad, thick evergreen foliage, with its 
glossy richness, would alone entitle it to a place 
foremost in the rank of evergreen shrubs; but 
when in June this mass of luxuriant foliage is 
;ilmost bidden by the magnificent array of beau- 
tiful tb>wers in clusters, it is simply grand. A 
protection of leaves and brush during the first 
winter will be beneflclal. The plants we offer

and will flower nicely the first year. Red. pink, 
white and variegated.
