RHODODENDRONS 
We carry a good selection in size and variety of these popular 
shade loving plants. See them at the nursery. A wealth of dark green 
glossy evergreen foliage serves as a background to numerous large 
clusters of gorgeous flowers which appear in the spring and early 
summer. All colors are represented: white, apricot, pink, orange, 
red, yellow and purple, in all shades and tints. Rhododendrons hold 
their color longer in shade, are beautiful for mass effects. They are 
surface feeders and require 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. Balled and burlapped, $4.75 up.
