Of the more universally admired plants, the Rhododendron probably takes first rank, and is always a source of wonder and admiration when seen for the first time in blossom ; and when known to be hardy, and the glossy, decorative leaves evergreen, it is not strange that they should be in such great demand. They luxuriate in a partially shaded position, but if planted in the open, so situate them that the morning sun in winter does not strike the leaves. \Ve give below a list of such varieties as have proven hardy in New England. Album Elegans, blush, changing to white. Album Grandiflorum, white and blush. Alexander Dancer, bright rose, one of the best. Blandyanum, rosy crimson, excellent foliage. Chas. Dickens, dark scarlet.
