Hybrid 
RHODODENDRONS 
The Hybrid Rhododendron is  s, a ae 
undoubtedly the showiest of all g& a 
broad-leaved flowering evergreens. 
Its dignified, lustrous rich green 
foliage, mm symmetrical arrange- 
ment, backgrounds the magnificent 
flowers, ranking it as one of the most 
beautiful evergreen shrubs in the 
garden. 

Rhododendrons prefer to grow 
together in clumps, thus protecting 
the soil from the scalding sun. When 
planted in groups they generally can 
be relied on to carry through ex- 
tremes of heat and cold. 
A mulch of Jeaf-mold from hard- 
wood trees such as Oak, furnishes 
not only the acid conditions the 
plants need, but the loose fibrous 
material retains moisture and keeps 
the plant roots cool. 
Cultural directions are sent with 
each order.
