GREENHOUSE RHODODENDRONS. 
COUNTESS OE HADDINGTON, very largo blush white flowers; an exceedingly beautiful 
hybrid variety. 3s. Gd., 6s., and 7s. 6 d. ; fine plants, 15s. 
EDGWORTHII, a handsome free-flowering species, with large pure white spreading oup-sliaped 
fragrant flowers. 2s. 6 d., 3s. 6 <£., and 5s. 
FORMOSTJM GRANDIFLORTIM, a very free-blooming variety, with finely-formed pure 
white flowers; a neat-growing kind, and very useful for conservatory decoration. 2s. Gil., 3s. Gil., 
and 5#. 
FRAGRANTISSIMTJM, this splendid hybrid Sikkim is the result of a cross between It. hdg- 
worth 'd and R. Gibsoni, partaking of the delicious fragrance of the former, while it retains the 
shrubby habit and abundant flowering qualities of the latter. The flower, which is of great 
snbstanoe, and measuring upwards of 5 inches m diameter, is of the purest white, lightly 
spotted with ochre on the upper petal; the back of the flower also presents a lovely appear- 
ance, being most delicately pencilled and shaded with rose on a glistening alabaster-liko 
ground. 15s. 
JASMINIFLORTTM, an elegant free-blooming species, with fragrant white flower tubes, borne in 
dusters. 2 s. Gd . , 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7s. Gd. 
JAVANICUM, a splendid species, with bright orange flowers. 5s. and 7s. Gd. 
JENKINSII, a liandsomo evergreen cold shrub, growing G or 8 feet high, sparingly branched, 
bearing dark green leathery oblong lanceolate leaves, having the margins obscurely undulated. 
The flowers are exceedingly large, funnel-shaped, and of a snowy whiteness. Its handsomo wax- 
like attractive blossoms ronder it a most beautiful plant for conservatory and greenhouse decora- 
tion. 3s. Gd. and 5s. 
NUTTALLII, large colossal trusses of snow white funnel-shaped flowers, relieved by a golden 
tinted centro, and elegantly suffused with a rosy tint outwardly. This magnificent species pro- 
duces the largest flowers of any known Rhododendron ; it is a largo-growing plant, only 
adapted for conservatories or large houses, and when in bloom is a truly magnifioent objoot. 
2s, Gd., 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7s. Gd. 
PRINCESS ALEXANDRA, a pretty hybrid variety, of dwarf compact growth, with similar but 
larger and longer-tubed flowers than those of R. jasminijiomm, being pure white, with pink 
stamens. A free-blooming plant, well adapted for conservatory decoration. 7s. Gd. to 15s. 
PRINCESS ALICE, a neat dwarf bushy-growing variety, with comparatively small leaves, and 
producing clusters of deliciously scented bell-shaped white flowers, flushed with pink on the out- 
ward surface. 2s. Gd., 3s. Gd., 5s., and /s. Gd. 
PRINCESS HELENA. This pretty hybrid form was obtained with the forogoing from a cross 
with R . jasminiflorum, but is readily distinguished from it by its much longer-tubed flowers, of a 
dolicately tinted soft pink colour, streaked with darker shades ; its profusion of bloom and neat 
dwarf growth are qualities which render it a valuable variety for greenhouse ornamentation, 
6s. to 15s. 
PRINCESS ROYAL, a handsome and distinct variety, of neat compact growth, with clusters of 
richly shaded roso coloured funnel-shaped flower tubes. 3s. Gd., 6s., and /s. Gd. 
THIBAUDIENSE. This is one of the Bhotan kinds, and combines the merits of rarity, boauty, 
and remarkable form. At first sight, one would be apt to suppose that it might belong to the 
Correas or rather to the Thibaudias, the flowers having the same alabaster translucent lustre as 
that family, and a good deal of the form and oolour of some of the species of the genus — henco 
its name. Its flowers are produced in terminal trusses, and are of a beautiful bright red, except 
at the mouth of the corolla, which is pale yellowish green, and the alabaster translucency of their 
texture adds greatly to their beauty. 
Having been collected nearly 10,000 feet above the level of the sea, it is a plant of somewhat hardy 
constitution and character, merely requiring the protection of a cool greenhouse. 3s. Gd. and 5s. 
VEITCHIANUM, a beautiful variety, with very large white flowers, relieved by a yellow centre 
or base, and elegantly fringed or frilled on the margin. 3s. Gd., 5s., and 7s. Gd.
