Rhododendrons. 
The Rhododendron has been a great specialty in our nursery, and our collection and stock of them is undoubtedly 
the finest in America. The season has been very favorable and they are unusually well set with bloom buds. The 
Rhododendron is one of the most valuable of our hardy decorative plants. The leaves are broad, green, and glossy, and 
when planted in groups or belts, or alone, have a cheerful appearance in the midst of winter. In June the masses ot 
rich and glossy green are surmounted by scarlet, purple, and white clusters, each cluster large enough for a bouquet. The 
finest varieties are the hybrids of Catawbiense, from which our stock is especially selected with reference to hardiness. 
We are now prepared to give special prices to all who may wish to make large plantations of these splendid flower¬ 
ing shrubs.

For the decoration of lawns, pleasure grounds, or shrubberies, the most imposing plants, after Rhododendrons, are 
certainly Azaleas ; and although not possessing the vigorous growth or grand appearance of the former, they can neverthe¬ 
less claim equal attention from the brilliancy of their flowers, which combine nearly all colors, from scarlet to rose pink, 
white, orange, yellow, and striped, and possess also the most delightful perfume. The blooming season continues through¬ 
out the months of May and June.
