CHINESE AZALEAS2=2ndea) 
No plant has increased in popularity during recent years with such amazing 
rapidity as the Chinese Azalea. A few years ago the annual importation of these 
from Belgium and Holland into the United States would hardly exceed twenty-five

they are seen in every church and in the windows of our finest residences through- 
out the country. Keep outdoors in a shady place in summer.

NEW JAPANESE MAPLE-LEAVED ABUTILON, SAVITZII. 
ABUTILON, 
This unique variety is well shown in the illustra- 
tion below, which represents a plant growing ina 
6-inch pot, demonstrating its fitness as a pot plant 
for window or conservatory. The contrast between 
the green and white is sharp, and the habit of the 
plant is dwarf. It will be of exceptional value for 
edging subtropical beds, as the general style of the 
plant is such that it harmonizes splendidly with 
Palms, Dracenas, and especially with Crotons, for it 
bears full exposure to the sun with splendid results ; 
it also grows in shade. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per 
doz., $12.00 per 100.
