The iJhodod^ndron ponticum is the commonest species of the genus in British gardens, where it grows to the height of from 5 ft. to 15 ft., or up- wards ; forming a dense bush, which will spread over a large space, if it be allowed abundance of room. In proper soil, if kept moist, the plant will make shoots, when young, of 1 ft. or more in length in a season, attaining the height of 4 or 5 feet in 5 or 6 years : but afterwards it grows more slowly; and, when a large bush, seldom makes shoots above 6 in. in length. It ap- pears to be of considerable durability. In cool, loamy or sandy, and some- what moist soils, it is planted in woods as ornamental undergrowth, and succeeds perfectly, both in England and Scotland. It will grow in almost any soil; but, in England, it seeras to thrive best in sandy peat, or deep sandy loam. In the common manured earth of gardens it succeeds worse than in unmanured loa
