RHODODENDRON CALOPHYTUM- 3 stars. A 
tree sometimes 50 feet high in the mountains of 
west China, introduced about 1900. The leaves are 
a foot or more in length. The flowers, white, pink, 
or red, with a darker blotch above the center, are 
deeply bowl-shaped, and borne in very large trus¬ 
ses. Distantly related to R. Fortunei and apparent¬

growth, seeming dissatisfied with conditions thus 
far offered it. It will make a wonderful Rhododen¬ 
dron when we learn its needs. 
In 4-inch pots $1.50 each
