small plant wintered in sun in the rock garden near 
the moraine, where the ground is not very wet. It 
has had no other trial here.

RHODODENDRON WEBSTERIANUM. Anoth¬ 
er so newly introduced that it has no rating. As 
much as 3 feet high, but slow growing. The color 
of this variety, Rock 25370, is given as blue, which 
will be better than the previously discovered form 
described as rosy purple, though the Lapponicum 
tints are in pastel shades and none bad. Coming 
from the moorlands of western Szechuan, R. Web- 
sterianum ought to be hardy, and several seedlings 
set in the moraine in SeptemLer, wintered well.

Other Dwarf Rhododendrons 
The Lapponicum Series is the largest of several 
more or less similar groups of dwarf or semi-dwarf 
Rhododendrons, characterized by scales just large 
enough to be seen without a glass, which dot stems, 
leaves, and often flowers. Such scales are found also 
on our native R. carolinianum and other species 
too big for the rock garden, and are probably a pro¬ 
tection against sunburn.
