The Garden Aristocrat for a Shaded Location 
R hededendrous 
Large specimens available in some varieties. 
The flowers of this well known shrub attract thousands to 
Golden Gate Park each spring for a gorgeous display. It is not 
difficult to grow Rhododendrons. They are not the tender plants 
many suppose. They do well most anywhere if planted in a par- 
tially shaded location. In planting use plenty of PEAT MOSS, 
and fertilize with ACID PLANT FOOD after the blooming sea- 
son has passed. 
Our plants are all grafted, well branched and with flower buds. 
Ready for planting about December, and may be safely planted 
from then on until spring.
