CHINESE AZALEAS 



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 windows of our finest residences through- 

 out the country. Keep outdoors in a shady place in summer. 



-ABUTILON, 



S7T\zttz:ti. — . 



This unique variety is well shown in the illustra- 

 tion below, which represents a plant growing in a 

 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.
