Boxleaf Holly (Ilex convexa) 
EVERGREEN SHRUBS — Continued 
RHODODENDRONS 
Rhododendrons require little care after they become established, 
except possibly some judicious pruning to keep them full and bushy and 
yet they yield the loveliest flowers in early June or late May. They grow 
best in a light, somewhat acid soil which is moist but well-drained. (They 
dislike ‘wet feet’’.) They do well in shade or partial sun and sometimes, 
unless protected in Winter, they may suffer some burning in windy areas. 
Rhododendron carolinianum (CAROLINA RHODODENDRON). 
A very early blooming variety, small and compact. Has handsome, dark 
green leaves and in May and June produces a profusion of soft rose-pink 
bloom. A great favorite. 5

RHODODENDRON HYBRIDS 
These well-budded plants are offered in an unusually select list of 
varieties, and it is through these named varieties or hybrids—that is, 
grafted stock—that the gorgeous array of colors in Rhododendrons in June 
are obtained. Hybrids are noted, too, for their superior foliage. 
Our Hybrid Rhododendrons are the healthiest we have ever had and 
we offer only those varieties which are hardy in this area. M
