are gay with them. Especially impressive in 
masses, but make a brave show as separate 
specimens. Each 
2 to 3 feet. $2.00 
Rhododendron 
Its leathery leaves provide wonderfully rich backgrounds of ' dark green 
amid the floral distractions of summer, and inject a lively reminiscence of 
the season past, in winter landscapes. Although most effective and cared-for 
when planted in masses, smaller groups and units are invaluable for shaded 
nooks about the house or lawn. They will grow in any good soil, but are finest 
in a suh-and-wind sheltered situation, where the soil is deep, well drained 
and mulched with leaves. In hot, dry weather soak the ground—say about 
once a week. A protection of leaves and brush during the winter will be 
beneficial. 
Catawlbiexise. Very hardy, with attractive foliage of round shining green 
leaves, glaucous beneath, in terminal clusters. The flowers are borne abun¬ 
dantly in large trusses, in shades of lavender and purple, appealing early 
in June. Each
