PINK PERENNIALS 
HyacintH (Hyacinthus orientalis, var. Maria Cornelia {single]); 
H. var. Lord Wellington (double). For culture, see Hyacinth, White 
Per., April. 
Scrxza (S. nutans, var. rosea). 1 ft. Leaves form a tuft’with 6-12 
drooping pink flowers borne on a raceme. Give any good well-drained 
soil; plant in autumn and mulch during the winter. Propagated by 
offsets. April to June. Have not been successful with this. 
MAY 
PINK SHRUBS 
AtmonD. Flowering (Prunus Japonica pl. fl., var. rosea). 4-6 ft. 
A rosy pink variety of this charming shrub. For culture and descrip- 
tion, see Almond, White Per., May. 
ANDROMEDA, WitpD Rosemary (A. perijolia). 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. 
Azaura (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.
