Hybrid Rhododendrons 
OUR RHODODENDRONS MUST BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED 
IMPORTED DIRECT FROM HOLLAND 
These fine specimen plants we are proud 
to offer you as an outstanding value. They 
are beautiful, low branched bushy 5- and 
6-year-old plants, have survived severe winters 
and dry summers out in the open. Some 
show buds READY TO BLOOM THIS SPRING. 
Rhododendrons being scarce, we were for- 
tunate in securing an excellent selection, 
many varieties in all colors, from deep red, 
purple, white, pink to lilac, etc. 
Hybrid Rhododendrons can be planted in 
full sun or part shade. They have a tendency 
to grow leggy and spindly if planted in too 
shady a location. 



For Your Convenience 
We have specially prepared 
SOIL FOR RHODODENDRONS 
75c per Y2 Bushel—1 Bushel, $1.40 
Peat Moss 65c % Bushel, 1 Bushel $1.10 
We Recommend: 
Mix your soil with Michigan Peat—l2 
bushel per plant—and provide good drainage. 
Be sure not to plant too deep. Rhododendrons 
are shallow feeders. Mulching with decaying 
oak leaves will provide the proper acidity. 
ALSO add some compost as food for good 
growth and bloom. Water frequently in dry 
weather. 
CONTROL OF RED SPIDER 
Sprinkling of the leaves—top and bottom— 
during the summer months keeps the Red 
Spider under control and greatly benefits the 
plants. 


Rhododendron Guarantee: 
Refund 50% purchase price or replace- 
ment at half price.
