Silver Queen—An elegant shrub, with shining leaves, silvery white and green, and bright red berries, making a delightful contrast. RHODODENDRON, OR ROSEBAY. This, wherever known, is universally acknowledged to be the most showy, magnificent hardy evergreen shrub that grows. It will thrive in any good soil without any special preparation, and in the full blaze of the sun. But it is more luxuriant in good, well prepared soil of leaf mould, or leaf mould and muck and peat mixed, and in partial shade. It is abundantly supplied with numerous fibrous roots that retain a quantity of earth in lifting, so that it can safely be removed at any season of the year, except the short period of their rapid growth, covering a portion of June and July. The broad thick evergreen foliage, wTith its glossy richness, would alone entitle it to a place foremost in the rank of evergreen shrub
