age. Really one of our finest Rhododendrons. Grows to

ACID-LOVING PLANTS 
Because all of this group of plants like an acid soil and all like 
similar growing conditions and have many characteristics in 
common, we are including them in a group this year. Any of 
these varieties will do well in partial shade or full sun, and all 
like a loose, well-drained, moist soil full of humus. For this reason 
and for the acidity, we are including with each shipment enough 
specially prepared Cole's acid peat humus to properly plant the 
plants and last them for a period of several years. 
COLE’S BLUE HYDRANGEA 
Huge flowers of greenhouse size and quality, yet completely 
hardy outdoors. Without doubt the very finest blue variety. As 
an acid soil is required to retain the true blue color, we will in- 
clude in your express shipment of these plants enough Cole’s 
acid peat humus for the planting and to maintain the color for 
several years. Heavy, two-year plants, $1.75 each; $4.50 for 3. 
HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
These glorious beauties need no description. This is the 
first time in many years that we have been able to offer 
sturdy, well-developed plants ready to break forth into 
glorious bloom, in sufficient quantity to send them to all 
who wish them. We all know their gorgeous shades of 
red, pink and lilac. We are offering these 3-year, 15-inch 
specimens for the first time in many years, in the above 
named colors at $4.85 each; 3 of your selection for $13.75. 
Prepared peat humus mixture included. 
COLE’S HYBRID BLUEBERRIES 
Very few people realize the extreme value of Hybrid 
Blueberry plants in the foundation or landscape planting. 
We think of them as a fruit bearer, but when we look 
at their gorgeous shiny foliage and their dainty pink blos- 
soms we realize the other values that they may have. 
They will grow and produce fruit in partial shade and, 
because they are so useful in places besides the fruiting 
field, we are including them in this list of acid-loving 
plants. We will, of course, include with each plant enough 
Cole's acid peat humus mixture to take care of the acidity 
of the soil over a period of several years. 
As Blueberries require several varieties for pollinization, 
we are not offering them in single varieties, but rather in 
groups or 3, 6 and 12. We will select from the fine varie- 
ties of”Jersey, Pioneer, Rubel, and Rancocas the proper 
pollinizing varieties for your use. All of these varieties 
produce exceedingly fine fruits in great profusion. 
We offer heavy, bearing-size plants, which will prob- 
ably give you fruit the first year and will certainly bear 
the second year.
