Mountain Laurel or Kalmia as collected from Long Island woods. This often looks thin after transplant- 
ing, but it will thrive if cut back and heavily mulched with leaves. In partially open situations it blooms 
more freely than in the shade. In the background are Cedars planted by our tree-movers. (See page 40.) 
Rhododendrons in our Nursery. These plants are grown in full sunshine and fully exposed to the winter. 
They are not as handsome as freshly imported plants, but they are well set with bloom buds, have large balls 
of roots enabling them to live in our dry climate and are sure to thrive if you will give them their principal- 
requirement — just leaves for a mulch. 
If you are afraid that the colors will not harmonize, come and study our color photographs taken by the 
Lumiere process, or come and study them when in bloom in June. They can be safely planted then. (See 
pages 40 and 41.)
