Rhododendrons 
In preparing a bed for Rhododendrons, locate it, if pos¬ 
sible, in a spot partially sheltered from intense heat in 
Summer and from the cutting winds in Winter. The latter 
can be artificially met by using evergreen boughs as a 
Winter covering. The best soil for Rhododendrons con¬ 
sists of sods, well rotted manure, sand and a large amount 
of leafmold, well mixed for retaining moisture to protect 
from Summer droughts. Heavy mulching or covering of 
l>eds in Summer is an excellent preventive and in dry 
weather the beds must be thoroughly soaked. Pinch off 
all seed pods after flowering, in order, to get good buds for 
next season. In the Fall, mulch the’beds a foot or more 
with leaves, and if these can be left to decay, it is advisable 
to do so.
