KELSEY'S HARDY AMERICAN RHODODENDRONS 
WATER. How to use it. Thousands of plants 
are lost tlirougli tlie wrong use of water or the lack of 
it at ihe right time. When planting soak the ground, 
giving all it will take as dirt is hciiig^ slw-veleJ in, thus 
settling the plant or tree firmly, anil giving the roots 
direct contact with the soil. This enables the plant to 
quickly start root and sap action. 
.After mulching, perhaps in two days the plant should 
be soaked again and thereafter, except in extreme 
drought a little spraying of the foliage at night is all 
that is necessary. 
When to Plant 
August and September are two of the best months 
in the year to plant Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Leu- 
cothoes, Andromedas and other broad-leaved ever- 
greens, as well as conifers. 
Everything should be handled with a ball and bur- 
lapped. Azaleas and similar deciduous ericaceous 
_ plants may safely and wisely be moved these months 
I and the plants thus become well established for the 
1 ensuing year's bloom and growth. 
1 Again all tliese things may be planted throughout 
I the fall and spring months while dormant. It pays to 
II buy specimens, with ball and burlap and to handle 
I properly at every stage of the process of transplanting 
and getting established.
