1. The roots feed at the surface— 
do not hoe or rake. Plant them 
properly and thereafter water and 
mulch as needed. 
2. Light shade, airy and open, 
gives best results. Only certain trees 
will do. The best are Oaks, Cherries, 
Magnolias and Birch. Their leaves 
make the best mulch. Avoid Beech 
and Maple. 
Ftybrid Khododendrons 
YOUNG HYBRIDS ON OWN ROOTS (Nearing 
Method). Slower start, but more vigor in after life 
than grafted plants. Hardier, denser, bushier, health 
ier—hence longer lived. Shipment will be made late 
May or early June. Plants thoroughly hardened, must 
be shaded and watered and mulched first summer. You 
will note some very rare kinds. For those who will take 
fuller advantage of this opportunity, we offer 50 plants (your 
selection) for $75. Units of 9 plants for $13.75 (any variety in list 
below) are offered packed f.o.b. New Jersey. Mix varieties as you
