AZALEA INDICA. For Easter Forcing. 



We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most dis- 

 tinct and best varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades of 

 crimson, white, pink and rose color. They are shapely specimens, 

 well "headed," double and single flowered, and will make splen- 

 did plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to ship 

 Azaleas when in bloom and have them arrive in good condition, 

 hence the necessity of procuring them in advance before the buds 

 open. Order early.
