Abstract
As announced in the preface, this book is concerned with the practical use of rhododendrons and azaleas in North America and elsewhere. In England much valuable experience has already been gained with the genus, and made public by the Rhododendron Society and Rhododendron Association. Full use of thi& information has been made by Mr. Bowers and he is to be congratulated on having provided a very useful compendium on the genus, especially for American readers. His chapter on the behaviour of new introductions in America should be of special interest to growers in Great Britain, where diversities of climate are not nearly so great.
