 A new greenhouse is being erected at 

 the Ewing farm and will assist greatly 

 in the work of the nursery. 



RHODODENDRONS AND AZALEAS 



Will 3'ou kindly tell me the proper 

 distance apart to plant rhododendrons 

 and Azalea mollis? F. T. 



Everything depends on the size of the 

 plants to be set out. If quite large 

 specimens are used they may require 

 as much as five to six feet each way. 

 As a rule, rhododendrons averaging a 

 foot and a half in height are used. 

 It is better to plant these fairly 'close, 

 say three and one-half feet each way, so 

 that the tops will come rather close to- 

 gether and make a natural shade for the 

 .soil. The general plan is to plant in 

 tiiis way and thin out before they be- 

 come too crowded. Of course, the ground 

 must ho well mulched all tlie time, to 

 keep tlie roots cool and moist. 



Azalea mollis, being a much slower 

 grower than the rhododendrons, should 

 be planted closer. In the ease of such 

 stock as is usually imported or sent out 

 from the nurseries, the plants can stand 

 two feet jjpart each way for a rear or 

 two, removing every other one when 

 they begin to crowd. C. W.

To illustrate: A new public highway 

 was opened up some 'MW yards north of 

 our headquarters, and our back way, so 

 we had to open up a new road in that 

 direction. Now, the new road opening 

 up our back way was not a very inter-
