 in winter. Flowers appear in spring in dense yellow

Rhododendron 



Rosebay, or Laurel 



These, the showiest of all ornamental, broad-leaved 

 evergreen shrubs, are justly most popular. They thrive 

 in pOTOus, fertile soils, preferring northern exposure in 

 partial shade. After planting, the surface of the ground 

 should be liberally covered with leaves and afterward 

 disturbed as little as possible, for the Rhododendrons 

 are surface feeders. 



IVlaxinU'Tl f^osebay, or Great Laurel. A tall, 

 ^ * ' strong-growing variety, occurring

 plantings are desired, this plant has no equal. Its per- 

 fect hardiness in a cold climate, thriving in the full sun 

 as well as in the densest shade, coupled with its com- 

 paratively low cost, has made this plant an almost
