Rhododendrons 



EXPERIENCE has proven that many Rhododendrons are hardy as far north as Boston. Xo flowers 

 are more gorgeous than these grand shrubs when they are all aglow with their great masses of bloom. 

 Xot only are the flowers attractive, but the heavy, shiny, green leaves enliven the landscape even 

 in Winter. 



Rhododendrons do well in most soils free from limestone, and to obtain success with them no such expen- 

 sive methods of preparing the ground are required as are sometimes advocated, though they willingly 

 respond to such treatment. In Summer a light mulch of cut grass retains the moisture, and in Winter a 

 heavier mulch of leaves protects the roots, and frequently a slight covering is required to shelter the flower- 

 buds and foliage. After each flowering season remove the seed pods so as to throw the strength 

 into the formation of flower buds for the next season. 



Rhododendron Catawbiense 



Rhododendron Catawbiense. This is our 

 native variety, indigenous to the Allegheny Moun- 

 tains. Perfectly hardy and one of the best of all 

 Rhododendrons. The flowers which are produced 

 in late Spring are of a lilac-purple color.
