Rhododendrons (Greenhouse Varieties.) 
Should be potted very firmly in fibrous peat and silver sand with ample drainage. After potting 
keep in a moist atmosphere in a gentle heat. Water carefully until the roots have commenced 
to run in the new compost, after which the supplies must be gradually increased. When the growth 
is completed give plenty of air to enable the wood to ripen and develop flower buds They should 
not he over-potted ; every third year is usually sufficiently frequent, the most favourable time being 
April and May.
