TFbybrio Rhododendrons 
Hybrid Rhododendrons do not require shade, in fact they do just as well 
in full sun, with some shade needed in the south where sun is extremely 
hot. They are easy to grow but do require an acid soil, free from lime. 
The most effective plantings are those in masses combining all colors for 
contrast and interest. The gorgeous flowers of these beloved broad- 
leaved evergreens assume shades and tints to fit any color scheme and are 
suitable for large or small home plantings. 2 
Rhododendron Hybrids are unquestionably among the most magnificent 
of flowering shrubs. Their fine, evergreen, leathery foliage has a majestic 
dignity, which proves most effective during the winter months. 
We offer a fine lot of flowering plants in four sizes in various shades 
of deep rose-pink, soft rosy lilac, crimson, white, lavender and _ bright 
red. They will be furnished with names attached to each plant.

Potentilla, Gold Drop 
Potentilla Fruticosa 
Gold Drop Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a small 
irregular shaped mound about 2 to 214 feet high. It is closely and 
densely covered with small fernlike leaves and studded with intensely 
brilliant golden yellow, Buttercup-like flowers from early June until 
October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the shrub 
border or in the foreground of any perennial planting. It does best in 
full sun and is hardy in below zero temperatures. The original plant 
we selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far superior 
both in flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. We know 
of no shrubs which flower so consistently and remain so cheerfully bril- 
liant throughout the entire summer and fall. Spaced 12 inches apart 
in a single row, it will make one of the most charming low hedges that 
can be imagined

planting. Fits in perfectly with perennial plants in the hardy border. 
Prefers a sunny location. Is hardy in below zero temperatures and is 
a perfect plant for the coldest sections of our country.
