A garden path built of slate ina 
green, a few deciduous Azalea type 
(hybrid Azaleas are listed seperat 
ely). Mostly dwarf alpine forms. 
The following list is one of the 
most complete offerings in the 
country and the acquiring of many 
of the newer and rarer varieties 
represents no little effort. Only 
through the complete cooperation 
of explorers and collectors have 
many been made available. Some 
must still be offered in only very 
small sizes. Prices range from 
$1.00 to $4.00, depending on size 
and variety. 
Size indicates maximum growth in 
native conditions. Under garden 
conditions only one-half this size 
should be expected. 
Rhododendrons, members of Ericacea 
are some of the finest of garden 
subjects, they are tough and easy 
to grow. Give them a high-organic 
acid soil, sufficient water, and 
protection from the most severe 
weather. Space forbids descript- 
ions, such information can be 
found in The Rhododendron Yearbook 
certain British publications and 
the U. of W. Arboretum Handbook of 
Rhododendrons. Note: “Rock” refers 
to the Rock Expedition of 1948 and 
their numbered forns.
