RHODODENDRON 
\ 
The Rhododendrons are the aristocrats of the Evergreen Shrubs, and beyond 
doubt the most beautiful. Large permanent leaves, of dark hue under good cul¬ 
ture, several sorts are glossy. Preferring some shade, they thrive and actually 
flower most freely in the sun. 
Rhododendrons are acid soil plants and do not like lime or fresh manure 
excepting in very acid soils. They do not like stiff clay soils, but prefer medium 
to sandy types with good humus, and fair moisture content. Once established, 
they withstand considerable drought. 
Experience is proving that Rhododendrons will thrive in many sections where 
previously it was thought impossible — as certain areas in the central states. 
Probably the absence of certain soil micro-organisms in soils where Rhododendrons 
had not been grown formerly made their growth difficult. If desired, we can 
furnish small amounts of Rhododendron soil for innoculating your soil. 
Rhododendrons have a wide range of use — in foundation plantings, in 
borders, in woodland groups. 
Our prices for Rhododendrons include 
Balling and Burlapping.
