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 ot 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.
