not followed here. These Rhododendrons produce 
few flower buds while small, and so live to form 
magnificent displays safely at a proper age. 
Owing to a recent moving, there are not yet any 
large Rhododendrons in the nursery. 
Stars, where mentioned, refer to the American ratings by Dr. 
Bowers. There are now in the nursery a few plants of about 20 
other hybrid varieties, too few of each to list. Some are for sale. 
ALBUM ELEGANS ^ A tall, rapid-growing hy¬ 
brid of R. catawbiense with very large trusses of a 
pale lavender which fades after a day or so to nearly 
white. Young plants grow rather narrow, but spec¬ 
imens 8 to 12 feet high become exceedingly hand¬ 
some, when given plenty of room on a shaded lawn 
or at the edge of a wood. One of the hardiest Rho¬ 
dodendrons at Boston, Rochester and Ithaca. 
12 to 15 inches high, with ball $1.25 each 
15 to 18 inches high, with ball $1.50 each 
BOULE DE NEIGE ^ Semi-dwarf, compact hy¬ 
brid of R. caucasicum, reaching after many years a 
height of several feet. Flowers are white, blotched 
centrally with green, and plentiful. Likes sun better 
than other hybrids. One of the hardiest. 
6 to 8 inches high, with ball 75 cents each
