Dwarf rhododendrons. There is great variation in the height to which 
these small rhododendrons will grow. If planted in the open to 
take the brunt of wind and weather, they remain low and dwarf in 
form. However, a savage sun is too much; somewhat diffused light 
is much better. Cool acid soil with an annual mulch of pulverized 
sphagnum and moisture during the gi-owing season insures good 
health. 
The number of *’s before the rhododendrons indicates the rating 
given by the Rhododendron Society. Their absence is not an indica¬ 
tion that the plant is worthless; simply that as yet it has not been 
considered. The rating has gone on for years, while at the same 
time new species have been discovered. It is not likely that we all 
shall see exactly eye to eye with the judgments.
