RHODODENDRONS 
T hese are the handsomest of all the broad-leaved evergreens. 
Many plant-lovers think they are difllcult to grow, but this is 
not the case if suitable varieties are used, also proper soil and 
care given them. 
The varieties we offer are hardy and will withstand our winters and 
summers. 
Soil in which Rhododendrons are to be grown is very important. 
The first requisite for success is an acid soil and good drainage. A 
light garden soil is best but if a clay soil must be used lighten it with 
Rhododendron carolinianum. Carolina 
Rhododendron. Rather narrow, small 
leaves, dark green above, brown dots 
beneath. Rosy pink flowers in May. Very 
hardy.

to 3 ft. B&B.$5 00 
sand, leaf-mold, decayed sod, or even surface soil that has been 
manured the previous year. All are good. 
After planting, a good 4-inch mulch of oak leaves proves itself to be 
beneficial and necessary in the successful culture of Rhododendrons. 
Also remove the seed-pods after flowering. 
All our Rhododendrons are grown in our own nursery, so we know 
exactly what varieties to recommend for any locality. Do not plant 
in limestone soil or use lime in any form.
