purple, in all shades and tints. Rhododendrons are tolerant of and hold their 
color longer in shade. They will not be as luxuriant or bloom as well against 
the south or west side of a building where there is full sun and reflected heat, 
but do not require shade. We grow them in full sun in our nurseries. They 
are surface feeders and thrive best in a loose deep, friable soil containing 
considerable humus or organic matter and with a mulch of peat moss about 4 
or 5 inches thick or a thick layer of leaves to keep the surface soil around the 
plants moist. Feed in early spring and again 2 or 3 months later, just after 
blooming time, with Malmo Rhododendron Fertilizer. 
The following list is selected from prize winning internationally ac- 
claimed Rhododendrons exhibited at the leading Rhododendron Shows. We 
have added the best of the new hybrids as well as many of the better species. 
The asterisks (*) preceding the name indicate ratings given by 
Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society. Many varieties without the asterisk 
are too new to have been rated, and are well worth growing. 
We grow most of our rhododendrons by grafting the choice name varie- 
ties on a strong rooting understock and find such plants give more satisfaction 
in growth, vigor, foliage effect and bloom. Our plants are pruned the Ist and 
2nd year to establish a compact many-stemmed specimen, 
RHODODENDRONS - In most varieties our grafts of a year ago, which have 
been grown 1 year in the field, are available at $3.00 to $4.00 each, but are 
not yet well shaped or as mature or will give the satisfaction as will the old- 
er trained plants quoted in the following list. :
