Fine rose. Rhododendrons do well in almost all situations, pro- vided the soil is deep, cool and moist. Where these conditions do not exist naturally, they may be produced by digging out the soil four feet deep, filling in two feet with stones, sticks and rubbish, and finishing with good, light soil. The sorts offered are among the hard- iest of all, standing our winters very well. It is, how- ever, time well spent to fill in forest leaves about the plants for the winter. It keeps frost out of the ground, breaks the wind, and keeps the sun from the foliage, all of which benefit the plants at that period. PERENNIAL PHLOX.
