THE 



READERS' 

 SERVICE 



THIS department is prov- 

 ing very popular judging 

 from the number of 

 queries we are receiving by 

 every mail. Questions are 

 pouring in on every conceivable 

 subject. During the month of 

 March we have given advice 

 on subjects varying from mill 

 construction to the care of six- 

 weeks-old puppies; from trac- 

 tion plowing to the purchasing 

 of nasturtium seeds, etc., etc. 

 It is the season of the year 

 when one begins to think of 

 the summer vacation. On our 

 staff we have men who have 

 explored different sections of 

 the country and are able to give 

 from personal knowledge bona 

 fide facts as to the advantages 

 these different regions offer to 

 the tourist. If you are in doubt 

 where to spend the vacation 

 period, write to the Readers' 

 Service, stating what kind of a 

 trip you wish to take. We 

 can aid you. And remember 

 it costs you nothing but the 

 time to write the letter and a 

 two-cent stamp. Address

Rhododendrons 





The glory of every place possessing 

 Rhododendrons is their superb bloom 

 in May and early June. 

 The magnificent coloring and huge 

 clusters of flowers in so many shades 

 of crimson, pink, violet, rose, purple 

 and delicate creamy white, gives them 

 them the first place among evergreen 

 shrubs. 



Andorra Grown 

 are Superior 



First, by reason of a select collection 

 of varieties of approved hardiness, of 

 distinct, clean colors, and of good 

 form and foliage. 



Second,- by reason of careful cultiva- 

 tion in ideal soils, especially adapted 

 to the formation of healthy fibrous 

 root and in exposed unsheltered lo- 

 cations insuring hardiness. 

 Third, by reason of our shipping you 

 plants with large balls full of fi- 

 brous roots ; not small balls with 

 insufficient root to sustain the plants, 

 such as are carried on newly imported 

 Rhododendrons. 



Fourth, they cost but a trifle more 

 than the foreign grown stock which 

 may bloom the first year and be utter- 

 ly worthless before next, while An- 

 dorra Grown are good now, good 

 next year, good every year, and 

 the cheapest in the end.
