Hybrid Rhododendrons 
We have imported from Hol¬ 
land a few varieties of hardy hybrid 
Rhododendrons. These varieties 
we have selected from a large stock, 
and consider them the best for 
this climate. Each plant is a per¬ 
fect specimen in itself. They have 
been given plenty of room and 
have formed broad dense heads. 
The flower clusters on these are 
larger than those found on our 
natives. Some clusters will meas¬ 
ure 6 inches in diameter. All of 
our plants will bloom this spring. 
They will stand from IS to 24 
inches; each one possessing from 
10 to 20 flower buds. I’rice, SI.25
