Among the wild flowers of the United
States the most magnificent when in bloom
is the rhododendron, which forms impene-
trable thickets in many parts of the Alle-
ghanies, and, with its related plant, the
mountain laurel, gives a wonderful charm in
the floral season to the Appalachian moun-
tain glens, from Maine to Georgia. The
cultivated rhododendron is produced by
hybridization between the American and
several Asiatic species,. In the hands of
the florist it has attained a wonderful ex-
uberance of form and color, the highly-
cultivated varieties being unequaled for
richness of hue and showiness and profusion
of petals. It is a hardy plant, and will win-
ter out of doors, calling for no special care
or cultivation. This, of course, does not
apply to the floral monstrosities annually
exhibited, as results of the exaggerated care
of flower fanciers.
We have named here only a few of the
better known of an innumerable variety of
flowers, very many of which are adapted for
house cultivation or garden growth ; but, as
their treatment does not vary greatly, and
in special cases must be learned largely by
experience, v/e shall say no more here upon
this attractive subject.

Among the wild flowers of the United States the most magnificent when in bloom is the rhododendron, which forms impenetrable thickets in many parts of the Alleghanies, and, with its related plant, the mountain laurel, gives a wonderful charm in the floral season to the Appalachian mountain glens, from Maine to Georgia. The cultivated rhododendron is produced by hybridization between the American and several Asiatic species,. In the hands of the florist it has attained a wonderful exuberance of form and color, the highly cultivated varieties being unequaled for richness of hue and showiness and profusion of petals. It is a hardy plant, and will winter out of doors, calling for no special care or cultivation.
