AZALEA FIELDER'S WHITE. 



As an admirer of azaleas in general, 

 I am very glad to notice that there is £ 

 revival of interest in their culture, says 

 a writer in the Gardener's Chronicle. To 

 my view, azaleas are by far the most 

 handsome group of hard-wooded green- 

 house plants grown. While not look- 

 ing forward to seeing them cultivated 

 in the form of giant pyramids, as was the 

 custom in the '60s and '70s, I still think 

 that if prizes were offered for groups of 

 more naturally growns plants, much in- 

 terest might be added to our late spring 

 exhibitions. However, I am getting 

 away from the heading of this note. In 

 these utilitarian days, I do not think 

 we can well afford to put on one side 

 the old Fielder's White. For working 

 up into wreaths and other forms of 

 memorial use, no other white azalea can 

 come up to it; its extended stamens 

 and pistil give it quite a characteristic 

 appearance. We find naturally grown 

 plants, both large and small, to 

 be most useful and acceptable in 

 c'cuv«:i decoration at Raster and 

 other times when required. As 

 will be known to many of your read- 

 ers, this old azalea has a good consti- 

 tution, hence does not suffer from the 

 changes of temperature, etc., to which 

 plants used for general decorative pur- 

 poses are more or less subject. When 

 repotting, we always use one-third of 

 the compost in the shape of small nod- 

 ules of turfy loam to two-thirds of 

 tough peat, with a good sprinkling of 

 Bedford sand.
