! <>r many years these fine hardy Rhododendrons have been one of my leading specialities. The 
'•mvcM.il success with the many thousands of these plants supplied by me for the various country 
#•1* And other private and public grounds attest the quality and reliability of this stock. 
Mv plants are exceptionally well grown, several times transplanted, bushy, budded well fur- 
*• »hrd. and in every way desirable for immediate effect. 
i.fat care has been exercised in including only such varieties as may be classed as absolutely 
m the Central and Northern States; and in the severe climate of New England these tested 
of “ironclad” hardiness succeed with ordinary treatment. 
H uiied in masses, groups or borders, these beautiful Shrubs are incomparably fine, excelling in 
when in flower and foliage almost any other hardy Shrub or Plant known. The massive 
bloom of the most beautiful colors, are always a striking and beautiful object in lawn and 
I * ’* the more perfect development of the plants a partially shaded situation is preferable, although 
obtains when planted in the open ground, especially if properly mulched to prevent drying in 
and cold and drought in winter. And good, loamy soil, moderately enriched with fibrous 
•<«11.11 or well rotted cow manure, or well rotted sod, is best suited to the growth of the plants 
1 ir* evergreen boughs placed around the plants, sufficient to keep off the sun and wind in winter 
«<l\antageous. 
I hr seed pods should always be removed after flowering to insure better bloom the following 
I hr best efforts are produced by close planting, an average of from 2 to 3 feet apart, thus at once 
Muring a solid mass of flower and foliage. 
In arranging the larger native Rhododendrons (R Maximum) as a background, these hardy named 
*•* l,,r - produce a beautiful and striking effect planted in front toward the grass border. 
My ‘’took of these really hardy Rhododendrons, both as to quality and quantity is, I believe, un- 
•im. >«*rd They are both the cheapest and best. There is no experiment in planting them. Every 
fr*Mf will grow and bloom well the first season. 
Many foreign plants sold in this country, owing to lack of hardiness, are almost worthless, and of 
•I*# thousands of such plants sent out every year but few survive the first winter following. But few 
r«t |M ., n grown Rhodendrons outside of the British Isles are of much value for planting in the 
t *j t Middle or New England States.
