 to be the best value for the money ever received by the 

 many florists who bought them, and we can promise as good, 

 if not better stock and larger plants this coming season. 

 We have agam made special arrangements with the largest 

 grower of Azaleas in Belgium, and take pleasure in offering 

 for delivery about October 15th, Indian Azaleas double

 shapely plants, well headed, at the prices quoted below. 

 This is a specially low import offer both as to sizes and
