Rhododendrons 



EXPERIENCE has proven that many Rhododendrons are hardy as far north as Boston. No flowers 

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

 Not only are the flowers attractive, but the heavy, shiny, green leaves enliven the landscape even in 

 A'inter. 



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

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

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

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

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

 nto the formation of flower buds for the next season.
