RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM 
(Rosebay Rhododendron) 
Evergreen shrub with large showy leaves 
and bluish-white flowers in July. This plant 
requires an acid soil, humus, damp loose 
culture, as the roots feed at the surface, so 
do not hoe around them. Does well under 
Oak, Cherry, and Birch trees, but avoid 
Beech and Maple. To get the required acid 
condition on lime or sweet soils use a quan- 
tity of peat around the roots when planting, 
or plant all in peat. This is a wonderful 
shrub for mass effects.

Of all the garden books published for Home Gardeners we 
like this one the best. The printing is large, the copy is 
plain, easy to understand. The twenty double-page spreads 
of line drawings are wonderfully clear. They show many 
new ideas which can be done simply. Many things are cov- 
ered—soil conditioning, compost, drainage, all kinds of 
vegetables, bugs, spraying, raising seedlings, storage, vege- 
table greens, salad vegetables, herbs, fruits and berries, 
pruning, strawberries, preserving fruits. It’s complete. You
