Hybrid Rhododendrons 
We have imported from Holland 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 perfect 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 measure 6 inches in diameter. All of our 
plants are of blooming size. They will stand from 18 to 24 inches; Price, $1.25 each.
