Rhododendron Catawbiense 



RHODODENDRONS 



The ground selected for the planting of Rhododendrons should be 

 prepared to a depth of at least 2 feet, with a compost of one-half light 

 garden soil and one-half rotted peat. If the soil should happen to be 

 heavy clay, good sharp sand should be mixed with it in hberal quantities. 

 Rhododendrons will not flourish in hmestone soils. After the flowers 

 have fallen, it is very important that the seed-pods be removed immedi- 

 ately, so that the plants may make their full growth and mature their 

 flower-buds for the following year. 



Granulated Peat Moss is an excellent all-year-round mulch for aza- 

 leas, Rhododendrons, and kalmias. Large bale, $3.50; 10 bales $30.00.
