NAMED VARIETIES 
The Bagatelle Nursery makes a specialty of growing 
Rhododendrons and have first class facilities to do 
so. Experiments, at great cost, have been made in the 
last five years to test hardiness as for outside planting 
in the vicinity of New York, only the hardiest varie¬ 
ties should be chosen.
