NAMED HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
(Additional varieties not described in catalog) 
CHAS. BAGLEY. A well known variety with 
flower color usually described as cherry-red. Truss 
and individual blossom are both ample and grace¬ 
ful, growth rapid, leaves large. One of our finest 
hardy reds, it falls just short of full hardiness at 
Boston, but is satisfactory in the New York area. It 
has sometimes been distributed mistakenly under 
the name of Giganteum, a variety not successful in 
this region. 
LEE’S DARK PURPLE. Of semi-dwarf growth, 
compact, with deep green foliage, and flower color 
a royal purple. Suffers in a cold location during 
severe winters, but is satisfactory for more sheltered 
places. A different form under the same name has 
a larger growth and fully hardy constitution. Un¬ 
less it can be demonstrated which of these distinct 
and worthy forms is the original Lee’s, this one will 
be continued under that name, while the larger and 
hardier one will be offered, as soon as a supply can 
be propagated, under the name Lee’s Best Purple. 
MEMOIR. A good white of medium growth, with 
large flowers. Not quite so hardy as Boule de Neige
