RHODODENDRONS, Evergreen... Colorful 
Superbly adapted to the growing condi- 
tions that prevail in Northwest gardens, 
Rhododendrons have become one of the 
most important of all shrubs for land- 
scaping in this area. They are attractive 
the year around. In the spring the glo- 
rious trusses of bloom make a sumptuous 
display unique in the realm of hardy 
shrubs. After the blooms the new foliage 
lends a touch of color and interest to the 
garden. If you want to treat yourself to 
one of the finest sights a garden can pro- 
vide plant Rhododendrons of several dif- 
ferent colors, including yellow or purple,

CARE AND PLANTING OF RHODODENDRONS AND AZALEAS 
Rhododendrons and Aza- 
leas are ideally suited to 
our Northwest climate. 
Rhododendrons and Azaleas prefer an acid soil, well 
drained, loose and friable. A generous application of 
peat moss and leaf mold should be worked thoroughly 
into the soil. When the soil is very stiff and heavy it 
should be replaced with good top soil. Shot clay, sandy 
loam, or peaty soil are all suitable for this purpose. 
To plant dig a hole considerably larger than the root 
ball. Fill in the bottom of the hole with a mixture of 
equal parts of loam and peat moss. Then place the plant 
in the hole so that the top of the root ball is not more 
than 1 inch below the level of the surrounding soil. Fill 
in the sides with the same mixture, firming it down well 
to avoid air pockets. 
After planting soak the soil thoroughly. 
Mulch the ground around the plants with an ample 
layer of peat, leaf mold, sawdust or other porous sub- 
stance. 
Rhododendrons and Azaleas require ample moisture. 
Water frequently during dry weather and during warm 
weather. An overhead sprinkling morning and evening 
will be beneficial. 
The ideal site for Rhododendrons and Azaleas is one 
that provides some protection from the hottest sun and 
severe winds.
