RHODODENDRON CEPHALANTHOIDES, of 
the Cephalanthum Series, resembles certain of the 
Lapponicums in its Daphne-like foliage, and has 
also Daphne-like flowers, while those of the Lap¬ 
ponicums favor Azalea. Grows on dry ledges and 
in clefts of limestone cliffs in western China, but 
seems partial to a wet, peaty moraine here. Small 
plants wintered in sun without injury. Blossoms 
white with yellow tube. 
4 to 6 inches high in 3-inch pots 75 cents each 
RHODODENDRON SALUENENSE. 3 stars. A 
shrublet of the Saluenense Series with large flowers 
for the size of the plant, nearly 2 inches across, in 
2s and 3s, saucer-shaped, deep purple-crimson with 
darker markings. Leaves evergreen like the Lap¬ 
ponicums, but distinct in shape and texture. Found 
on cliffs and boulders in west China, it takes kindly 
to a moraine or sunny wet bank, seeming both har¬ 
dy and thrifty in its small way. One of the most 
promising rock garden species. 
3 to 5 inches high in 3-inch pots $1.00 each 
RHODODENDRON RACEMOSUM. 4 stars. Intro¬ 
duced to cultivation about 1900, and already known 
to American gardens, it is hardy in a sheltered po¬ 
sition, requiring some shade and good drainage,
