Sunset’s Gorgeous Rhododendrons 
The magnificent display of these lovely shrubs attracts thousands of visitors to Golden Gate Park. 
Rhododendrons should be planted in partial shade and prefer acid soil. They should receive liberal applications of 
leaf-mold or peat for best results. Do not use fertilizers containing lime. Mulch the top soil to conserve moisture and pull 
weeds by hand; do not cultivate close to plants as roots are very near surface. Ready for planting about September 15 and 
through winter until May. 
All the Rhododendrons offered are balled plants, well branched and shaped, and bear flowering buds, with the exception 
of the smaller plants in the collections, which will flower next season. 
We are the largest dealers in Rhododendrons and Azaleas in this section.
