AZALEAS (American). These include 

 what are called Ghent Azaleas, which are 

 seedling varieties of A. calendulacece, A. 

 nudiflora, A. speciosa, and A. viscosa. 

 The varieties were first raised in the

Soil. Sandy peat in a dry situation, 

 at least eighteen inches deep, but in a 

 damp one a foot deep will be sufficient. 



Culture. In spring protect the young
