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.
