RHODODENDRON CAMPANULATUM. 2 stars. 
A large, loose shrub from the Himalayas, known 
since 1821. The leaves are covered below with a 
f: 
rusty felt, the flowers, rather large, varying from 
white to pink and purple, with purple spots. Once 
reported hardy at Rochester, it has not succeeded 
perfectly when grown from English seed. A new 
strain direct from Nepal, with white flowers spot¬ 
ted maroon, seems hardy, but may need good shade 
and shelter. 
In 3-inch pots $1.25 each 
RHODODENDRON THOMSONII. 4 stars. Large 
shrub with small, oval leaves and blood-red, some¬ 
times pink flowers of a pure, clear shade. Since 1851 
this magnificent Himalayan has been known as a 
species difficult to handle. Small plants well shaded 
and kept moist in a soil mostly sedge peat, endure 
the winter out of doors, but require the best care. 
In 4-inch pots $3.00 each
