RHODODENDRON. 
This, wherever known, is universally ac- 
knowledged to be the most showy, magnifi- 
cently hardy evergreen shrub that grows. 
It will thrive in any good soil without any 
special preparation, and in the full blaze of 
the sun. But it is more luxuriant in good, 
well prepared soil of leaf-mold, or 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 ever- 
green shrubs, but when in June this mass 
of luxuriant foliage is almost hidden by the 
magnificent array of beautiful flowers in 
clusters, and each cluster large enough for 
a bouquet, it is 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 well set with 
flower-buds, and are too large to be sent by 
mail ; must be ordered by express.
