The Rhododendron Border 
R HODODENDRONS thrive best in masses or groups and 
are handsomest where their beautiful colors are set off by 
a background of the dark green of Evergreen Trees, or 
in a corner of house or wall clothed With evergreen vines. At 
the edge of the Rhododendron border and blending it into the 
lawn the dwarf growing Junipers, Yews, Azaleas and Evergreen 
Euonymus are particularly appropriate.
