Southern Connecticut, the Rhododendrons, although near their northern 
limit, grow well except in very exposed locations or when the soil is ex¬ 
cessively dry and sandy. Even these difficult situations can be partially 
overcome by planting windbreaks and enriching the soil with acid leaf 
mold. Under all conditions, the most they ask for is plenty of water in dry 
weather, an annual mulching of Oak I eaves and protection from severe 
winds and the burning winter sun. 
Carolina Rhododendron—R. carolinianum. This Rhododendron has great masses of 
pink or sometimes white flowers in the middle of May. As it is a less rank growing variety, 
it may be used to good advantage in the foundation planting.

from seed collected from the various Hybrid varieties and present a wide range in color
