 Both the Laurel and Rhododendron are evergreen. 

 When the blossoms have faded pick off the seed 

 pods so the strength of the plant will not be wasted. 

 Rhododendrons only bloom profusely every other 

 year. 



Lilies grown in the bed with Rhododendrons and 

 Laurel not only do very well but present a most 

 charming appearance. Lilies need the shelter that 

 the Rhododendrons so well supply, as they are sus- 

 ceptible to late frosts and are injured by the buf- 

 fetings of the wind which they do not well with- 

 stand. And then Lilies do better in the partial 

 shade where Rhododendrons should be placed. The 

 bright, glossy leaves of the shrubs make an ideal 

 background and base for the graceful nodding caps 

 and bells. Use Lilium longiflorum, Lilium umbella- 

 tum, Lilium tigrinum, Lilium candidum, Lilium 

 auratum for a succession.
