Sunset’s Gorgeous Rhododendrons 
The magnificent display of these lovely shrubs attracts thousands of visitors to Golden Gate Park. 
Rhododendrons should be planted in partial shade and prefer acid soil. They should receive 
liberal applications of leaf-mold or peat for best results. Do not use fertilizers containing lime. 
Mulch the top soil to conserve moisture and pull weeds by hand; do not cultivate close to plants 
as roots are very near surface. Ready for planting about September 15 and through winter until May. 
AH the Rhododendrons offered are balled plants, well branched and shaped, and bear flowering 
buds, with the exception of the smaller plants in the collections, which will flower next season.
