plants are produced by cuttings or layers. Cuttings 
cost less than grafts or layers, and give superior re¬ 
sults, but the method of rooting them is known to 
a few only. 
Most named hybrids here are cutting-grown, and 
therefore of highest quality. As all large plants 
were disposed of in the recent moving of the nurs¬ 
ery, only small sizes can be offered this year. 
ALBUM ELEGANS. A tall, fast-growing hybrid 
of R. catawbiense, with very large trusses of pale 
lavender fading to nearly white. Young plants look 
ungainly, but specimens 10 or 15 feet high become 
exceedingly handsome when given plenty of room 
on a shaded lawn or at the edge of a wood. One of 
the 16 hardiest hybrids at Boston, Rochester and 
Ithaca. 
8 to 10 inches high, with ball 80 cents each 
BOULE DE NEIGE. Semi-dwarf, compact, slow- 
growing hybrid of R. caucasicum, reaching after 
many years a height of several feet. Flowers are 
white with a greenish blotch, and freely produced. 
This thrifty variety likes an open, sunny position 
better than most hybrids, and does not do well in 
dense shade. One of the 16 hardiest. 
6 to 8 inches high, with ball 
75 cents each
