Arnoldiana Azaleas 
In 1914 the late Jackson Dawson, then superintendent of the 
Arnold Arboretum, at Boston, Mass., created a new type of hardy 
Azalea by crossing Azalea Kaempferi and Azalea Amoena. Of the 
seedlings thus secured a considerable number were grown at Boston 
from their infancy to flowering age, when the following ones of 
unusual beauty and vigor of growth were selected. Considering 
their hardiness, their ultimate size, splendid foliage, abundant bloom 
and desirable shades of color, they well deserve the distinction as 
“one of the outstanding achievement in American plant breeding.” 
Prices of the following: 1 yr. old plants, 50c each, 3 for $1.25.

venient tabular form. “This is the most amazing gardening book 
I have ever looked at,’’ said one of the country’s foremost garden 
authorities after examining it in manuscript form. 
We have several of the leading Azalea and Rhododendron books 
in our library but I find more real practical information in this 
book than in all the others combined. Many color-plates, half- ° 
tones, line plates. Bound in navy buckram. The greatest book 
buy in years. $10.00 postpaid. 
In spring the dainty new leaves of blueberries with their pinky, 
bronze tones are very lovely. Even more charming are the car- 
mine-tipped buds and myriads of waxy, white flower bells.
