They are sensitive to lime, and require acidity. For protection 
of roots, most Evergreens are dug carefully with a ball of the 
attached soil, sewed up in a stout burlap bag. This treatment 
is denoted E. B. (Earth Balled). In other cases, the soil is re¬ 
placed by wet moss; in which case the notation reads M. B. 
(Moss Balled). Prices are for shipment by express or freight, 
charges collect, unless specifically otherwise noted. Because of 
extra weight, we recommend shipment of E. B. items by 
freight, to save expense.

RHODODENDRON 
Its leathery leaves provide wonderfully rich backgrounds of 
dark green amid the floral distractions of summer, and inject 
a lively reminiscence of the season past, in winter landscapes. 
Although most effective and cared-for when planted in masses, 
smaller groups and units are invaluable for shaded nooks 
about the house or lawn. They will grow in any good soil, but 
are finest in a sun-and-wind sheltered situation, where the 
soil is deep, well drained and mulched with leaves. In hot, 
dry weather soak the ground—say about once a week. A pro¬ 
tection of leaves and brush during winter is beneficial, and 
an acid soil condition must be maintained.

above, covered with brownish dots beneath; clusters of clear 
rose-pink flowers in May; vei-y hardy, 
lyj to 2 feet, B. B., $3.75 each.

shining green leaves, glaucous beneath, in terminal clusters.
