Hybrid 
RHODODENDRONS 
In or out of flower, these handsome hybrids are the most 
attractive and beautiful of the late spring-flowering shrubs. The 
huge heads of exotic flowers and the broad, leathery foliage 
present a majestic solidity and almost tropical luxuriance. 
Unquestionably the ideal plant material for the shrub border 
and foundation planting. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
With but little forethought to the soil preparation and location, garden 
enthusiasts and home-owners have found that Rhododendrons are not 
difficult to grow. They merely require well-drained, acid soil in a sunny 
area for the hybrids and a shady location for the native varieties. In- 
corporate a liberal amount of oak-leaf mold or peat moss in the soil at 
planting time, water well, and place a 3-inch mulch of pre-moistened peat 
moss over the bed, which should be allowed to remain throughout the year. 
Never cultivate or hoe. Rhododendrons are best planted m groups of three 
or more, as close proximity more nearly approaches their natural habitat. 
A winter windbreak is advisable if plants are exposed to icy blasts. 
NOTE: Rhododendrons cannot tolerate lime in any form; therefore, for 
sections of the country where limestone is present or which border on a lime- 
stone belt, we suggest that you contact your State Experiment Station for in- 
formation regarding the proper procedure in preparing your soil for success 
with these acid-loving plants.
