RHODODENDRONS 



^Tremulous leaves with soft and silver 

 lining ' —Longfellow 



'ECAUSE of the infinite number of lovely growing things, it is almost 

 impossible to specify any one as being pre-eminent. But, of all the evergreen 

 shrubs, Rhododendrons are probably the handsomest. Their rich green foliage 

 and their magnificent clusters of brilliantly colored flowers make them superb 

 among plants. 



Rhododendrons are comparatively easy to grow, if planted in a suitable 

 location and in the proper soil. They thrive best in partial shade protected 

 from direct rays of the sun, and should never be allowed to suffer from 

 drought. They will not grow happily in a limestone soil, and, if this con- 

 dition exists, it must be rectified by the use of peat or leaf mold. It is better 

 to plant them in masses, where the sheltering shade of each shrub benefits its 

 neighbor. 



We especially call your attention to the following select list of fine hybrids. 

 All have been chosen for their pleasing colors and foliage. The plants, three 

 feet and under, have been grown here at Towson Nurseries with our special 

 layering method. This procedure places each plant on its own roots, assuring 

 a good, strong growth and every plant true to name. 



We invite you to visit our nurseries during the latter part of May and early 

 June, when our large collection of these exquisite Rhododendrons is literal lv 

 smothered in blossoms.
