Quercus acuta. Japanese Evergreen Oak. Without 
doubt this is the most beautiful evergreen Oak ever 
introduced. The tree is of medium growth; bark very 
smooth; leaves oblong, of a bright, glossy green; 
growth very symmetrical and compact:. A specimen 
of this Oak in our grounds is the admiration of all 
who see it. Seems to do well in almost any soil; 
needs comparatively little care, but will repay any 
attention given.

Note. — As all evergreen Oaks are difficult to trans¬ 
plant, they must be defoliated and severely cut back be¬ 
fore being set out. Keep the trees well mulched until 
thoroughly established. 
Rhododendron 
Rhododendrons by some are considered difficult to grow. 
This erroneous idea is due to lack of knowledge con¬ 
cerning these handsome plants. The Rhododendrons 
naturally love a shady situation, especially where they 
are protected from the afternoon sun. As Rhododen¬ 
drons are surface feeders it is very necessary that the 
beds be properly prepared. Excavate to a depth of 
2 or more feet; fill in with a mixture of leaf mold, 
loam or peat, and sand so as to give good drainage. 
The above should be thoroughly rotted and mixed. 
A liberal amount of well-rotted manure can also 
be used with the above mixture, but never use heat¬ 
ing manures. Keep the plants well mulched with 
leaves and water during periods of drought. If these 
directions are carried out Rhododendrons will give 
most satisfactory results.
