Rhus Typhina Laciniata (See page 186). 



Hardy Rhododendron 



Hybrid Rhododendrons 



The handsomest and most effective of the broad leaved evergreens. 



Rhododendrons will succeed in any light or friable garden soil. If a heavy 

 clay soil must be used, incorporate a liberal amount of leaf mould or well 

 decomposed cow manure, digging the beds about 2 feet deep. It is beneficial 

 to mulch the beds during the summer with any loose material, also protect 

 in winter with a mulching of 4 or 5 inches of leaves; a scattering of evergreen 

 boughs between the tops of the plants during winter is desirable to break cold 

 driving winds and to protect from the sun's rays in very early spring.
