CHINESE AZALEAS. 



For House Culture. 

 Few plants reward the cultivator more liberally with wealth of 

 bloom than these, and no collection of plants, however small should

 when a plant is covered with dozens and even hundreds of such 

 clusters of flowers the effect can be better immagined than des- 

 cribed. The most inexperienced cultivator can grow them. We 

 offer a grand collection — the best we could select in Europe — 

 comprising the most distinct and best varieties in cultivation; em- 

 bracing all shades of crimson, white, pink, and rose color. The
