How To Treat The Soil For 
Rhododendrons And Azaleas 
The Rhododendrons here listed are nur¬ 
sery-grown, and acclimated, and have 
had the benefit of careful transplanting 
by which they have gained root systems 
which will cause them to make better 
growth than ordinary collected or poor¬ 
ly grown plants. 
Rhododendrons (and Azaleas) require 
acid soil. For best results, plant in a 
mixture of three parts leaf mould or 
Holland Peat to one part soil. In lime¬ 
stone localities one pound aluminum sul¬ 
phate to each square yard of surface 
broadcast Spring and Fall, will prove 
beneficial in acidifying the soil. 
RHODODENDRONS are acclaimed by some ex¬ 
perienced plantsmen as the most beautiful of all 
Broad-Leaved Evergreen Shrubs. Fortunately 
they have a wide range of use.
