SCILLA (S. nutans, var. rosed}, i ft. Leaves form a tuft with 6-12

 PINK SHRUBS 



ALMOND. Flowering (Prunus Japonica pi. ft., var. rosed). 4-6 ft. 

 A rosy pink variety of this charming shrub. For culture and descrip- 

 tion, see Almond, White Per., May. 



ANDROMEDA, WILD ROSEMARY (A perijolid). 15 in. Bears small 

 pinkish- white drooping flowers in terminal umbels; margins of the 

 narrow evergreen leaves turn under. It should be given a low wet 

 situation; if on dry ground it becomes dwarf* Propagate by sowing 

 seeds as soon as ripe or by pegging down the branches, covering the 

 joint with soil, and they will root enough to separate in a year. 



AZALEA (A. vaseyi). 6-8 ft. Bears deep pink flowers before the 

 leaves appear. None of the so-called hardy Azaleas have survived the 

 winter with me. Give a deep, rich sandy well-drained loam, but it must 

 never be allowed to become too dry. Azaleas thrive best in partial shade.
