RHODODENDRON CULTURE 
Acid, humus, damp, loose 
1. The roots feed at the surface— 
do not hoe or rake. Plant them 
properly and thereafter water and 
mulch as needed. 
2. Light shade, airy and open, 
gives best results. Only certain trees 
will do. The best are Oaks, Cherries, 
Magnolias and Birch. Their leaves 
make the best mulch. Avoid Beech 
and Maple. 
HARDY HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
The “Catawbiense Hybrids’ are all 
hardy in Zone VI. A few are hardier and 
marked Zone V in the list below. They 
are easy to grow in sun or shade, requir- 
ing only plenty of moisture in hot summer 
nights, and acid humus soil. Several 
sources are required to complete this list 
and more than one shipment may be 
needed on assorted orders. We will 
gladly select varieties for you to minimize 
this if advised what colors are desired. 
Seedling hybrids seldom bloom well, so 
these named, proven kinds are far su- 
perior. Bloom early to late June.
