A complete list of the Rhododendron species growing here 
will be found on the two final pages. Details regarding their be¬ 
havior will be furnished gladly to anyone interested. 
The primary purpose of raising these new species 
is for use in hybridizing. Those hybrids originating 
in Europe seldom prove hardy in eastern United 
States, yet in spite of repeated urging by E. H. Wil¬ 
son, few Americans have attempted breeding Rho¬ 
dodendrons here, where climate eliminates the unfit.
