Hybrid 
RHODODENDRONS 
N 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. Unques- 
tionably the ideal plant material for the shrub border, foundation planting, or for inter- 
planting with azaleas and evergreens. 
As the demand for these truly fine plants has been so great and propagation so limited 
over the past few years, we regret we cannot offer any larger sizes than listed. When 
ordering, please be sure to indicate the size you want. 
NOTE: Rhododendrons cannot tolerate lime in any form; therefore, for sections of the country 
where limestone is present or which border on a limestone belt, we suggest that you contact your State 
Experiment Station for information regarding the proper procedure in preparing your soil for success 
with these acid-loving plants. 
All Hybrid Rhododendrons are shipped balled and burlapped
