RHODODENDRONS 
Priced according to size and variety 
The tremendous springtime display of great trusses of bloom for- 
merly believed to be the exclusive right of more northern gardeners 
can be obtained here, too. Location and care of the plants is the 
secret. Give rhododendrons a spot where they will receive filtered 
shade for protection, the same kind of acid soil conditions you 
provide for azaleas, and most important of all, a steady, consider- 
able moisture supply in a very well drained situation. Continuous 
mulching with peat moss is essential, but little or no fertilizer is 
necessary.
