RHODODENDRON 
Our state flower and probably the handsomest of all broad- 
leaved evergreens. The wealth of dark green glossy foliage 
serves aS a background to the numerous large clusters of 
gorgeous flowers which appear in spring and early summer. 
All colors are represented, white, pink, red and purple, in all 
shades and tints. Rhododendrons are tolerant of shade and are 
beautiful for mass color effects. They are surface feeders, and 
require a mulch of peat moss or thick layer of leaves to Keep 
the surface soil around the plants moist. Feed in early spring 
with our Rhododendron and Camellia fertilizer. Stars indicate 
1938 (the latest) rating by English Rhododendron Association.
