Rhododendrons 
Hybrid “R hododendrons 
Hybrid Rhododendrons do not require shade, in fact, they do just as well in full sun, 
with some shade needed in the South where sun is extremely hot. They are easy to grow 
but do require an acid soil, free from lime. The most effective plantings are those 
in masses combining all colors for contrast and interest. The gorgeous flowers of 
these beloved broad-leaved evergreens assume shades and tints to fit any color 
scheme and are suitable for large or small home plantings. 
gh Rhododendron Hybrids are unquestionably among the most magnificent of flowering 
shrubs. Their fine, evergreen, leathery foliage has a majestic dignity, which proves 
most effective during the winter months.

Rad ¥ - , = A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to re- i 
‘ i ee - 7 semble a small, irregular shaped mound about 2 to 214 feet i 
high. It is closely and densely covered with small, fern- | 
like leaves and studded with intensely brilliant golden | 
yellow, Buttercup-like flowers from early June until Oc- i 
tober. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of 
the shrub border or in the foreground of any perennial 
planting. It does best in full sun and is hardy in below } 
zero temperatures. The original plant we selected from 
the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far superior both in 
flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. We 
know of no shrubs which flower so consistently and re- 
main so cheerfully brilliant throughout the entire summer 
and fall. Spaced 12 inches apart in a single row it will 
make one of the most charming informal hedges that can 
be imagined. 
Katherine Dykes Each $2.59, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00

for garden use. It grows about 214 feet high, sometimes 
3 feet, is compact but with arching branches which are 
studded with clear sparkling yellow Buttercup-like blooms 
from beginning to end. For background, there is the 
handsome, small, fern-like foliage. Blooming all summer 
and being of medium height. never spreading much over { 
3 feet, it is one of the choice small all-summer flowering ; 
shrubs. Perfect for small gardens or in narrow borders. i 
Don't miss this little gem which needs no care.
