RHODODENDRONS 
PLANTED NOW WILL 
BLOOM THIS YEAR 
H ICKS' Rhododendrons have been 
established here from two to 
eight years. They have big balls of 
roots in a mixture of sandy- soil and 
decayed oak leaves. They are sure 
to unite readily with your soil and 
make a big display of bloom this year 
and next year. 
The best colors have been selected 
from the hardiest varieties. Our cat- 
alog describes the colors accurately 
according to the color chart of the 
French Chrysanthemum Society and 
Color Standards by Ridgeway. We 
can send you autochrome photo- 
graphs from which you can accurately 
plan for color harmony. 
Send for Home Landscapes, new 
edition, illustrated with color plates; 
contains maps on climate, soil and 
geology which aim to aid in fitting 
plants to soil and climate. We would 
like the opinion of practical garden- 
ers on these maps.
