DISCOLOR HYBRIDS—Unflowered and colors un- 
known. 5-8 ft., $10-$15 
FORTUNEI— Very large blush pink fragrant 
flowers and dependably hardy with us. Another 
so called “tree” species that hardly reaches that 
stature in cultivation but is often tree-like in 
habit. The corolla is seven lobed instead of the 
usual five. Rhododendron Fortunei is quite free 
from all insect damage—in fact almost immune 
and this also applies to its close relatives R. dis- 
color and R. decorum. All hybrids of these spe- 
~ cies seem to partake of these pest resistant 
characters to a great extent. I have yet to ob- 
serve a single lace bug or white fly on them and 
leaf eating worms rarely touch them, Fortunei 
itself, perhaps never. Large sizes, 6-8 ft., on ap- 
plication. 4 in, pots, $1.00; 6-8 in. $2.00 
JOHN WALTER—Crimson. 8-10 in., $5.00 
KEISKEI—A species from Japan with plant habit 
and foliage somewhat resembling that of R. caro- 
linianum but flowers pale yellow very early in 
spring. 4 in. pots, $1.50 
LONGESQUAMATUM—Have a few seedlings of 
this unusual species which has surprised us by 
surviving our winters for a number of years un- 
scathed. A sturdy, fine looking plant with pink 
gloxinia shaped flowers that are heavily spotted 
dark crimson in the throat. 
4 yr. sdlgs., 4-6 in., $2.50 
MAKINOI—A Japanese species, slow growing and 
of rather dwarf habit. The flowers are pale pink 
of fair size and the long, very narrow leaves, 
somewhat rolled up both summer and winter, are 
covered beneath with a white, wooly felt which 
turns a buff color and lasts for several years. It 
has been satisfactorily hardy here. 
4 in. pots, $2.00 
MAXIMUM—We have this native rhododendron in 
almost any size up to eight feet. Arrangements 
will have to be made to transport the larger 
plants. 1-8 ft., $1.00-$15.00 
MUCRONULATUM—A very early deciduous species 
with rose purple flowers blooming with forsythia. 
Very hardy and does well in full sun. 
10-12 in., $2.00
