AZALEA, MME. VAN DER CRUYSSEN. 
CHINESE AZALEAS (28t24 Noica) 
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 thousand; to-day it 
probably reaches two hundred and fifty thousand. At 
Easter they are seen in every church and in the win- 
dows of our finest residences throughout the country. 
Keep in pots outdoors in a shady place in summer.

BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA. 
‘sCHINESE PAPER PLANT.”’’ 
This beautiful free-flowering plant was introduced recently, 
and on account of its free-blooming qualities has become very 
popular, especially as a plant for Easter decorations. It is of 
a strong, rapid growth, and the brilliant rosy-crimson blos- 
soms are produced in large racemes from early March until 
midsummer. In fact, a well-grown specimen will frequently 
flower the greater part of the year. Altogether a most desir- 
able subject for the conservatory or window garden. (See cut.) y TT 
Price, strong plants from 3-in. pots, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. TUBEROUS BEGONIA.
