Hybrid Rhododendrons 
GRAFTED NAMED VARIETIES 
The following are from open field, dug with ball of earth. 
They have been pinched to make low, shapely branching,; 
thus overcoming the common fault of grafted rhododendrons 
which is to grow leggy. All hardy Zone VI, some in Zone V 
if protected, and a few extra hardy ones as noted in Zone V, 
without protection.

RHODODENDRON 
MASSED PLANTINGS 
No grander garden effect is possible than larger 
groups when they bloom in June (see front cover). 
All year long the showy leaves are green and 
give a ‘rich’ appearance. 
Native kinds can be used in the background 
(see page 4) and surprisingly few of the more 
expensive hybrids in front will add an impressive 
show of extra color values. 
Hybrids in quantity, where color is not im- 
portant, can be planted less expensively by using 
the seedling plants offered on this page. Or 
very inexpensively indeed, by putting the own- 
root hybrids (previous page) in a shaded bed 
for a year, than transplanting to permanent site. 
However, named hybrids, from outdoor beds, fur- 
nished with a small earth ball ready for imme- 
diate planting can be had without too great cost:— 
NAMED HYBRIDS IN QUANTITY
