RHODODENDRONS (BE) 
Our state flower and probably the handsomest of all broadleaved 
evergreens. The wealth of dark green glossy evergreen foliage 
serves as a background to the numerous large clusters of gorgeous 
flowers which appear in the spring and early summer. All colors 
are represented: white, apricot, pink, orange, red, yellow and purple, 
in all shades and tints. Rhododendrons are tolerant of and hold their 
color longer in shade. They are beautiful for mass color effects. 
They are surface feeders and require a mulch of peat moss about 4 
or 5 inches thick or a thick layer of leaves to keep the surface soil
