EVERGREEN SHRUBS~— Coxtiued 
RHODODENDRONS 
RHODODENDRONS require little care after they become established 
except possibly, some judicious pruning to keep them full and bushy, 
and yet they yield the loveliest flowers in early June or late May. 
They grow best in a light, somewhat acid soil, which is moist but well- 
drained. (They dislike “wet feet.’’) They do well in shade or partial 
sun and sometimes, unless protected in Winter, they may suffer 
some burning in windy areas. 
Rhododendron carolinianum (CAROLINA RHODODENDRON). 
A very early blooming variety, small and compact. Has handsome, 
dark green Jeaves and in May and June produces a profusion o 
soft, rose-pink bloom. A great favorite.
