HARDY RHODODENDRONS 
The Hybrid varieties of Rhododendrons we offer have all been tested and found perfectly hardy in 
the climate of Boston and vicinity. For a niunber of years we have tested them in various soils, both with 
and without shade, and have become convinced that they are not so finical as we, in common with many 
people, had supposed. 
They will grow in almost any good loam where corn will thrive, and should be planted thickly so 
that the sun cannot shine directly on the roots. No excavations are necessary. They are surface feeding 
plants and appreciate a reasonable mulching of decomposed vegetable matter. The roots should not be 
disturbed or exposed, but kept well protected by mulch about three inches deep. 
For the first two or three years a little screening during the Winter by covering Ughtly with ever- 
green boughs, so as to protect them from the March sun, is all that is necessary. It is not the cold of Win- 
ter that kills them; it is the early Spring frost after a warm day or two, when the sap is brought to the foli- 
age, that kills. 
Pin<;h off all seed pods after flowering, in order to get good buds for the next season.
