Rhus Typhina Laciniata. Pyrus Japonica (Japan Quince?). A very showy and popu- lar Shrub of medium height, which blooms profusely in early spring; flowers dazzling scarlet. Makes an excellent hedge. 25 cts. each. RHODODENDRONS. This grand genus, with their huge clusters of flowers in beautiful colorings, stand unequalled among hardy flowering Shrubs, and during the latter part of May or early June no flower is more gorgeous, while the bright evergreen foliage is attractive at all seasons. They require only a good garden soil, which should be dug at least 2 feet deep and well mixed with leaf mould or peat, and a somewhat sheltered situation, the north angle of a building, which the majority of other plants dislike, being one of their favorite loca- tions. They delight in an ample supply of water during their growing season, but must have perfect drainage. During the summer a mulch of any loose light material is beneficial, and a protection of leaves or brush through the winter. To allow the next season's flower buds to develop, the old flower heads should be carefully removed after they are faded.
