AZALEA 



AMOENA. — A dense dwarf growing shrub 

 with slender branches and semi-double flow- 

 ers of bright cheerful rosy-purple, produced 

 in such great numbers as to literally envelop 

 the bush in June. The box-like foliage, which 

 is deep green with metallic luster, renders it 

 a charming plant at all seasons of the year, 

 and when in flower it presents a blaze of 

 bloom. Bushy plants, 10 in., 35c; 15 in., 50c

J. T. LOVETT.— Produced by Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet of whom we purchased it in 1910. It 

 has been fully tested and is by far the finest 

 and most beautiful hardy Azalea we have ever 

 seen. The beautiful flowers are produced in 



such great profusion as to completely en- 

 velop the plant, and resemble in size and 

 make-up those of a fine Azalea Indica (which 

 are so largely forced under glass by florists 

 for Easter decoration) and are rich, brilliant 

 carmine-like in color. The plant is of vig- 

 orous growth, of dense spreading habit and 

 has proved to be hardy without protection. 

 The evergreen foliage is rich, deep green with 

 metallic shadings, exceedingly abundant and 

 the leaves are much larger than those of 

 Azalea amoena rendering it a most attractive 

 plant throughout the year. What gives this 

 grand Azalea special value is the fact that it 

 flowers during late June and July, after the 

 other Azaleas' have shed their bloom and at 

 a time when there are few flowers to be found 

 upon hardy shrubs. (See cut.) Beautiful 

 bushy plants. 10 in., 75c.; 12 to 15 in., $1.00 

 each. 



LEDIFOLIA ALBA (Japonica Alba).— The 



beautiful pure white flowers of this hardy 

 evergreen Japanese species resemble those of 

 the well known Azalea Indica and are very 

 freely produced. It flowers later than the 

 other kinds. Exceedingly desirable and valu- 

 able. Bushy plants. 15 to 18 in., 75c.; 18 to 24 

 in., $1.00 each. 



PONTICA LUTEA.— A strong growing 

 variety that gives a dazzling display of bright 

 golden flowers. It produces a striking effect. 

 Strong plants, 18 to 24 in., 75c. each. 



YAE-GIRI.— A beautiful and distinct va- 

 riety with deep evergreen leaves with metallic 

 shadings and giving a lavish display of semi- 

 double salmon red flowers. Bushy plants, 12 

 to 15 in., $1.00 each. 



YODOGAWA. — A very distinct variety 

 flowering with the Magnolias in early spring, 

 in advance of all the others and before the 

 leaves appear. The large semi-double flowers 

 of lavender pink completely cover the plant. 

 Strong plants, 15 to 18 in., $1.00 each. 



CALLICARPA 



PURPUREA.— A very useful dwarf shrub. 

 Its branches are heavily laden with clusters 

 of small bright purple berries in autumn and 

 early winter. In summer it has numerous 

 small bright purple flowers. 2 to 3 feet, 30c. 

 each.
