RHODODENDRON 
The Rhododendrons are the aristocrats of the Evergreen Shrubs, and 
beyond doubt the most beautiful. Large permanent leaves, of dark hue 
under good culture, 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 inocu¬ 
lating 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.
