YOU WILL FIND THE FINEST RHODODENDRONS AT B. & A. 
RHODODENDRONS 
These are the handsomest of all the broad-leaved evergreens. 
Many plant-lovers think they are difficult 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 
RHODODENDRON Fortunei, Hybrid Seedlings. Tbese seedlings 
come in the finest shades of pink, red, lilac, and mauve—all colors 
blend harmoniously. We are offering them as mixed. Prices greatly 
reduced from the regular Named Hybrid Rhododendrons, unexcelled 
for mass planting. Each 10

with sand, leaf-mold, decayed sod, or even surface soil that has 
been manured the previous year. All are good but avoid fresh 
manures. 
After planting, a good 4-inch mulch of oak leaves proves itself 
to be beneficial and necessary in the successful culture of Rho¬ 
dodendrons. 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. 
R. maximum. Rosebay Rhododendron. Also called Great Laurel. 
Very fine for massing, and will thrive best in shady locations. 
Flowers are pure white to delicate shades of pink, appearing 
in June and July. Perfectly hardy. 1to 2 ft., $3 each; 
2 to 2 ft., $3.75.
