RHODODENDRONS 
It is our purpose to list only such varieties of this po pular evergreen as have proved hardy in this latitude. 
Proper exposure (half-shade, protected from winds and hot sun) has much to do with their successful growth, as 
well as thorough preparation of the soil with leafmold or peat. Pick off seed-pods after blossoms have dropped. 
Mulch heavily with leaves or litter.
