100,000 Rhododendrons and Azaleas Grown in This Lathe House for You 
In this lathe house are grown thousands of Rhododendrons and Azaleas. One car 
load of peat is used annually in these beds. All beds are raised above ground level to 
assure proper drainage. Many of our customers were amazed at seeing such a root 
mass on these plants. Please note cuts on pages 13 and 14. 

200,000 young evergreens are rooted in this propagating plant annually. Some 
varietivs root in 6 to 8 weeks and other take as long ‘as 9 months. The propagating 
medium is taken out every season and replaced with new. All heating coils are un- 
der the benches so as to assure proper bottom heat. After these cuttings are rooted 
sufficiently they are then removed out doors and planted in beds 4” x 4”.
