In conclusion, I hope that I have not wearied out both you and your readers 
with my long yarns about Rhododendrons. If not, I should be glad some day 
to add a few lines on what seems to be the realization of a hope expressed in my 
first paper, viz., that hybridisers might find means to infuse scent into our hardy 
varieties, or colour into the scented. I have received a grand collection of 
blossoms from the Lawson Nursery Company, Edinburgh, of plants raised by 
Mr. Scott, which are well worthy of notice. A few weeks ago I saw the plants 
growing in the open air in the Nursery, and the blossom of one was shown to me. 
I have now more than a dozen varieties before me, in the finest condition, scented 
and coloured, beautiful, and most interesting.
