+ P. empetriformis. A robust plant of a foot or more; flowers funnel- 
shaped bells of bright pink. 75c. 
Dwarf rhododendrons. There is great variation in the height to which 
these small rhododendrons will grow. If planted in the open to take 
the brunt of wind and weather, they remain low and dwarf in form. 
However, a savage sun is too much; somewhat diffused light is much 
better. Cool acid soil with an annual mulch of pulverized sphagnum 
and moisture during the growing season insures good health. 
The number of *’s before the rhododendrons indicates the rating given 
by the Rhododendron Society. Their absence is not a sign that the 
plant is worthless; simply that as yet it has not been considered. The 
rating has gone on for years, while at the same time new species have 
been discovered. It is not likely that we all shall see exactly eye to 
eye with the judgments.
