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 1)0 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 stable 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.

R. Catawbiense. IIardv IIvbrids. We offer a beautiful 
lot of the best named varieties. The colors vary from 
pure white to deep purple and all shades of red, 
crimson, rose and pink. When planted against a 
back-ground of green and in harmonizing colors they 
give a most charming effect. Then, too, when the 
flowers have faded, the plants themselves make a 
green shrub border that is unusually attractive. The 
varieties vary in color from pure white to deep purple 
and all shades of rose, pink and crimson. The plants 
should be set in a rich, shady situation, and the soil 
should contain well-decayed leaf-mold and peat. Keep 
the plants well mulched with rotted leaves. Not being 
deeply rooted, they are apt to be injured by drought. 
Plants begin to bloom last of April.
