12 Better Rhododendrons 
Ki hodvdlendigns 
EYOND doubt, the showiest and most beautiful 
evergreen shrubs, with large, permanent, glossy 
green leaves and lovely flowers in early summer. |g 
They should have partial shade, although they do jigs 
well in full sunlight, and a north exposure is espe- 
cially adapted to them. It will pay well to go to some 
trouble to prepare beds for them as they demand an 
acid soil entirely free of lime or fresh manure. 
Groups of Rhododendrons planted in foundation 
plantings, borders, or under trees give untold re- 
turns in the all-year beauty of their foliage and 
their lovely flowers in early summer. 
All Rhododendrons are balled and burlapped (B-B) with- 
out additional charge. 

Rhododendron carolinianum 
Carolina Rhododendron 
One of the very finest broad-leaved evergreens. It has 
handsome dark green leaves, blossoming in mid-May nearly 
three weeks ahead of other varieties, thus extending ‘the 
season considerably. The densely-clustered flowers, varying 
from pale to deep pink, although smaller in size than those 
of some Rhododendrons, make up in profusion of bloom 
what they lack in size.

valuable. The flowers, borne profusely in very large round trusses, 
come in various shades of dark rosy lilac the early part of June. It 
thrives best in partial shade and is very hardy.

PACHYSANDRA 
Pachysandra terminalis 
Japanese Pachysandra 
One of the best evergreen ground covers to use 
in spots where grass is difficult to grow — under 
shade trees for instance. Makes an excellent 
edging to face down plantings to the ground— 
spreading by its roots into solid mass effect. The 
whorl of rich green leaves on stems about 6 ins. 
high are topped in June with a short spike of 
white flowers. Will thrive in deep shade.
