RHODODENDRONS. It is almost superfluous to dwell upon the beauty of 
this class of plants. Broad, dark green foliage, and great trusses of 
gorgeous tints. Plant them in a spot partially sheltered from intense 
heat in summer and from the cutting winds of winter. The latter can 
be met by using evergreen boughs as a winter covering. The bed ought 
to be filled in with old sods, old manure and sand, and what is better 
still, with some leaf mould, which help to form an ideal soil which 
does not allow the drying of the roots in summer droughts. Heavy 
mulching of the beds in summer is an excellent preventative, and in dry 
weather the beds must be thoroughly soaked. Pinch off all seed pods 
after flowering, in order to get good buds for next season. In the fall, 
mulch the beds a foot or more with leaves, and, if these can be left to 
decay, it is advisable to do so. Large well budded plants, in the hardiest 
named varieties. Each $2.50.
