RHODODENDRON MULIENSE ** The Muli 
Mountain Lapponicum, a shrub to 2 feet with half¬ 
inch leaves and bright yellow flowers, 5 or 6 in a 
cluster. Yellow being so rare a color among hardy 
Rhododendrons, makes muliense especially attract¬ 
ive. It grows slowly and needs a little shade, but is 
hardy enough when correctly placed. As the stock 
of older plants is now nearly exhausted, only 1936 
seedlings will be available May, 1937.

RHODODENDRON ORTHOCLADUM *** 
Upright shrub with narrow, half-inch leaves which 
keep their shape and bronze-green color through 
the coldest winter, and mauve flowers borne 1 to 3 
together at ends of the straight branches. Hardy 
and vigorous if plenty of moisture is provided, and 
i 
thrives best in nearly full sun. Among its native 
Yunnan highlands it flourishes on cliffs of lime¬ 
stone, but probably will not endure even a suggest¬ 
ion of lime here under our light rainfall, requiring 
instead a highly acid peat.
