RHODODENDRONS. 
We would call the attention of our patrons to our superior stock of hardy 
Rhododendrons. These beautiful plants are yet but little cultivated, undoubtedly 
in a great degree from the general impression that they are difficult to manage, 
requiring special care and what is called peat soil; and it was at one time believed 
that they would not thrive in any other. Experience, however, proves the contrary, 
and it is now found that Rhododendrons thrive in almost any soil that does not 
contain lime. Strong plants, well set with buds, from two to three feet high, $2.00 
to $5.00 each. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES. 
Camoens. A bright China rose ; deep yellow, almost always striped with white, 
medium size. 
Beauty of Stapleford. Pale pinkish rose, shaded darker in centre ; good
