Rhododendrons prefer a good loamy acid s« a soil rich in organic matter. Any 
gardener can create this soil condition by working peat moss or compost into the 
soil before planting. Acidify your soil by using a liberal quantity of cotton seed 
meal or Stern’s MIRACID (see page 11 of this catalog). Plant in semi-shade and 
cover the ground with a moisture-retaining mulch of peat moss, leafmold, or similar 
material up to Z inches in depth. Your Rhododendrons will reward you with life 
time beauty.
