NEW AND RARE ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
All Shrubs and Hardy Perennials are F. O. B. Boston. 
AZALEAS 
All the Azaleas we grow are hardy and are particularly attractive 
when planted in groups about an estate on the edges of woods or tall 
shrubbery borders, but they can also be planted singly or m beds. 
Azaleas, like Rhododendrons, do not thrive in a lime soil and are 
greatly benefited by the use of leaf-mold or peat.

with masses of flowers, varying from pale yellow to deepest orange.

flowers, each about 21% inches across. $4.50 each.

erous Japanese shrub has scarlet flowers and is absolutely hardy.

flowering shrubs. It is a twiggy bush from 3 to 5 feet tall, and it 
clothes itself in a wealth of rose-pink to rosy red flowers. $3.50 each. 
Schlippenbachi. Royal Azalea. One of the earliest and most charm- 
ing spring-flowering hardy shrubs. In general appearance this new 
plant resembles Azalea indica, having the same general habit of 
growth, or perhaps somewhat more upright. The flowers are of the 
same size and bright pink im color, of a shade hardly to be expected 
in an outdoor hardy shrub. $5.00 each.

haps the most profuse bloomer of all the native Azaleas. Its pink 
flowers appear in May before the foliage. It is of slender, erect

charming light-stemmed growth. In autumn the foliage usually 
turns a bright crimson, which adds greatly to its value. $3.50 each;
