HARDY EVERGREEN FLOWERING SHRUBS 
. this section the Rhododendrons and Azaleas rank first in importance and no garden is complete 
without them. Where space will allow, they ought to be planted on a large scale. The ideal position for 
Rhododendrons is along the banks of a stream or pond where they are backed by trees or large shrubs. 
When planted in a natural style in such a position, the eflect they produce is unequaled by any other flower¬ 
ing shrub. 
All evergreen flowering shrubs succeed in such a position and the Azaleas and other varieties can be 
used in conjunction with Rhododendrons in these plantings. They all need moist soil, rich in leaf mold 
or humus in some form. 
Before planting, the ground must be dug deeply; do not add manure unless it is very old and well 
decayed. J 
. Whe I e the position is not naturally sheltered, some protection must be given to Rhododendrons in 
winter. Branches of evergreen trees set in between the plants will be of great benefit. A mulching of 
leaves or well-rotted manure in the fall is also beneficial.
