RHODODENDRON (Continued) 
polylepis.75 
ponticum, from a choice strain in Northern Europe, 
built up in years of selection. The strains of ponticum 
are less exacting as to soil conditions than other 
Rhododendron, producing fast growing floriferous 
plants having larger and finer flowers than Cataw¬ 
biense. Shades are of pink-rose, purple, violet and 
intermediate. If planted under shelter of buildings, 
trees or woodland protection, plants are reliably hardy. 
These have stood unharmed the Arctic cold of the 
winters, 1928-29, in northern Europe. A number of 
our finest Rhododendron Hybrids are of ponticum 
parentage.
