AZALEA CULTURE. 43 



It is therefore the interest of all growers to procure the 

 new kinds as early as possible, in order to be able to offer 

 them as soon as they are in demand. 



Azalea stocks should always be kept on hand. 



My reason for recommending Indica Alba in preference 

 to Phoenicia for a stock is that they can be grown as other 

 varieties, and the plants and flowers are always salable, 

 even should you not wish to graft all the stock of 

 Alba you have on hand. 



Phoenicia is equally as good for a stock, but the flowers 

 which are a dark purple have no demand, and are really 

 worthless after they are too old to be used as a stock.
