Broad-Leaved Evergreens 
Rhododendrons May Solve Yonr Problem 
Beautiful shrub with thick, smooth, glossy, evergreen leaves, the Rhododendron is 
a very effective plant used in masses or groups or near dark-foliaged evergreens. It is 
excellent for the shaded corner or on the north side of the house. 
Rhododendron —RHODODENDRON 
The Rhododendrons here listed are nur¬ 
sery-grown, and acclimated, and have had 
the benefit of careful transplanting by 
which they have gained root systems which 
will cause them to make better growth than 
ordinary collected plants. 
Rhododendrons (and Azaleas) require 
acid soil for best results, and should be 
planted in a mixture of three parts leaf 
mould or Holland Peat to one part soil. In 
limestone localities the broadcasting of one 
pound aluminum sulphate to each square 
yard of surface, Spring and Fall, will prove 
highly beneficial in acidifying the soil.
