In addition to the Rhododendrons here described are many 
more of equal or even greater interest, some too rare and scarce, 
others too newly introduced for inclusion now. This catalog will 
soon be enlarged and the scarce Rhododendrons will be increased 
by cuttings as rapidly as possible. Meanwhile their names will be 
found listed on the last couple of pages. Collectors of rare plants 
or others specially interested are invited to write for details. 
RHODODENDRON CHRYSANTHUM. Unlike 
most of the species to follow, R. chrysanthum looks 
exactly like the familiar garden Rhododendrons, 
except that it never grows up, adding orly about an 
inch a year, and usually falling over before it has 
attained many inches. It tears 5 to 8 pale yellow 
flowers in the cluster, yellow being a most unusual 
color among hardy Rhododendrons. 
Discovered in the Siberian mountains about 1776, 
it has been considered too difficult to glow in Eng¬ 
land, but this new lot of seed from Coiea is giving 
plants amazingly hardy and adaptable in this coun¬ 
try. They do best in the moraine, but \yill tolerate 
a rather dry soil in shade if required. 
Thus far these plants, 3 years old and only 2 or 3 
inches high, show wonderful promise.
