Rh. campanulatum var. Campbelli. We need not discuss the origin of this 
fine plant, which is probably a natural hybrid between Rh. arboreum and 
Rh. campanulatum. Its fine leaves and large truss of lovely pink flowers places 
it at once in the front rank of hardy shrubs. It flowers in April, and seems quite 
hardy. 
Rh. bodartianum (R. Smithii album of Kew). Those also who cannot 
grow any white Arboreum will find this a colourable substitute. It bears large 
trusses of white flowers in April, and never gets its young growth cut. 
Rh. Jacksoni (Syn. venustum). A hybrid between Rh. arboreum and 
Rh. caucasicum. A lovely dwarf pink flowered shrub for the front edge 
of borders. Quite hardy. 
Those who desire to plant this shrub (which is extremely cheap), in masses, 
will do well to break up the effect with such hardy dwarfs as Rh. Jacksoni var. 
album or Rh. “Handsworth Early White,” and if red is required, Rh. ‘‘Hands- 
worth Early Red.” The two last named are perfectly hardy, and the whole 
group combined with a few plants of Rh. arboreum var. Wellsianum (red), 
and this low hardy dwarf will form a brilliant sight in April, in places where 
the more tender varieties of Rh. arboreum wiU not flourish.
