RHODODENDRONS. These, wherever 
known, are universally acknowledged to be 
the most showy, magnificently hardy ever- 
greens shrub that grow. They thrive in any 
good soil, and in the full blaze of the sun, 
but more luxuriant in a good, well-prepared 
soil of leaf-mold or leaf-mold and muck and 
peat mixed, and in partial shade. 
Their broad, thick, evergreen foliage, with 
its glossy richness, would alone entitle 
Rhododendrons to a foremost place in the 
rank of evergreen shrubs, but when in June 
this mass of luxuriant foliage is almost hid- 
den by a magnificent array of beautiful 
flower-clusters, each one large enough for a 
bouquet, the shrubs are simply grand. 
A protection of leaves and brush during 
the first winter will be beneficial. The 
plants we offer are strong and bushy, 15 to 
24 inches high. Most of them will set with 
flower-buds, and are too large to be sent by 
mail ; must be ordered by express. 
Seedling: Hybrids, 75 cts., $1 and $1.50 each. 
Hybrids, Named Sorts, $1, $1.50, $2 and $3 
each. 
NOTE.— Rates on Rhododendrons vary, 
owing to size of plants, color and number of 
buds. Our stock is grown by a specialist in 
I hododendrons. England, and is of the very finest type.
