RHODODENDRONS 
T HESE handsome broad-leaved evergreens are one of the most beautiful of all flowering shrubs 
hardy in the North and East. Because of their handsome, broad., leathery foliage and symmetrical 
plant-habit, they are ideal material not only for shrubbery borders but for foundation plantings 
around the house. On the edges of woodlands they look especially beautiful. They need a sour soil 
such as can be prepared from a mixture of ordinary garden loam, manure, sand, and leaf-mold or 
peat moss. 
We have the finest stock of Rhododendrons in this country—thousands of strong, healthy, bushy 
plants loaded with buds for next year’s bloom. All Rhododendrons are dug with a ball of soil, and 
burlapped. 
We have divided these varieties into four groups: A designates very high growth; B, high growth; 
C, medium growth; D, dwarf, low, spreading growth. We especially recommend the varieties marked 
with an asterisk (*). 
Plant this fall for bloom next year. Why sacrifice a year’s bloom by waiting until spring?
