RHODODENDRON HYBRIDS 
These plants, in colors from bright crimson and various 
shades of pink to pure white are among our most strik¬ 
ing flowering shrubs. When not in bloom, the dark 
evergreen leaves give pleasing foliage effects. While 
many of the hybrids are not suitable as far north as 
this, we have selected and grown those of Rhododendron 
catawbiense parentage which have proved hardy. Plant 
in soil with an acid reaction (as is the case in almost all 
New England) and mulch the surface with leaves or 
peat so that the roots, which grow near the surface, may 
be cool and moist during the hot weather. A heavy 
watering in the late Fall will provide the leaves with 
sufficient sap to carry them through the dormant winter 
period.
