RHODODENDRON 
Rhododendrons should be planted in 
partial shade and prefer acid soil. 
Should receive liberal applications of 
leaf mold or peat for best results. Do 
not fertilize them with fertilizers con¬ 
taining lime. Mulch the top soil to con¬ 
serve moisture and pull weeds by hand; 
do not cultivate close to plants as roots 
are very near surface.
