in a cold-pit for best results. The individual flow¬ 
ers are each nearly 4 inches in diameter, pale pink 
or lavender, delightfully scented of cloves, opening 
late in May. As in most of this group, the corolla 
has 7 lobes and a peculiar satiny sheen.

RHODODENDRON CALOPHYTUM *** An 
impressive tree often 50 feet high in the mount¬ 
ains of west China, introduced about 1900. Leaves 
are a foot or more in length, flowers white, pink or 
red with a darker blotch above the center, deeply 
bowl-shaped, and borne in very large trusses. Dis¬ 
tantly related to R. Forlunei, it is not quite hardy, 
requiring a cold-pit in winter, though it will not 
actually die if left outside in a favorable place.
