and succeeded by clusters of rich purple berries. 2s. 6d. and 3s. Gd. 
RETINOSPORA LEPTOCLADA. 
A distinct and handsouio plant, and one of the most hardy of hardy Conifers. It is erect and 
pyramidal in growth, branching proportionately wide at the base, and tapering upwards to a grace- 
fully attenuate point. The colour of its growth is a fine silvery glaucous tint. 2s. Gd., 3s. Gd., and 5s.

RHODODENDRON CAUCASICUM FLAVIDUM. 
This new and interesting addition to cur hardy evergreen shrubs, is very distinct from the ordinary 
type of li. caucasicum, with rose coloured flowers, and long known in cultivation. In the new 
variety now introduced the flowers are of a pale straw yellow, thickly spotted on the upper segment 
with deep green dots. It is a native of the Caucasian mountains. Small plants, 7s. fid. 
RHODODENDRON METTERNICHII. 
A fine ornamental evergreen shrub, with oblong or obovate-oblong acute leathery leaves, which 
are ferrugineo-tomentose beneath. It has terminal corymbose heads of from ten to fifteen large sub- 
campanulate flowers of a beautiful rose colour. Being a native of the mountains of Japan, it is 
probably quite hardy in this country. 10s. fid. 
RHODODENDRON (AZALEA) RHOMBICUM. 
An erect-stemmed deciduous shrub belonging to the group usually known as hardy Azaleas in this 
country. It grows to the heigl^ of a couple of feet or more, and has stoutish branches, and thickish 
broadly rhomb-shaped leaves, which are 2 inches or upwards in length, and somewhat rusty be- 
neath. The flowers are, according to Siebold, of a lovely red colour, and grow on hairy peduncles 
in small clusters at the ends of the branches. It is a Japanese plant, and quite hardy. 16s. 
RHUS GLABRA LACINIATA. 
A new hardy deciduous shrub, with deeply cut feathery foliage, which changes to rich deep 
crimson and brown in autumn. 7s, fid. 
SAXIFRAGA FORTUNEI. 
This is an exceedingly handsome Japanese plant ; it produces fine corymbs of white blossoms at a 
season when flowers are very scarce — viz., September, October, and November. Being an easily 
cultivated plant, it is an exceedingly desirable introduction. Is. Gd, and 2s. Gd.
