RHODODENDRON 
MASSED PLANTINGS 
No grander garden effect is possible 
than larger groups when they bloom 
in June. All year long the showy 
leaves are green and give a “rich” 
appearance. 
Native kinds can be used in the 
background (see page 62) and a sur- 
prising few of the more expensive 
hybrids in front will add an impres- 
sive show of extra color values. 
Hybrids in quantity, where color is 
not important, can be planted less ex- 
pensively by using the seedling plants 
offered on this page. However, named 
hybrids, from outdoor beds, furnished 
with a small earth ball ready for im- 
mediate planting can be had without 
too great cost:
