AZALEAS 



These beautiful flowering shrubs have 

 long been a major specialty of our nurs- 

 ery. We grow our Azaleas in wide rows. 

 They consequently have more branches 

 and, as a result, more flowers than do 

 those produced by most nurseries. 



Azalea amoena {Amoena Azalea). 3 

 to 4 ft. A splendid and most popu- 

 lar Azalea, exceflent for rockery or 

 mixed planting, with conspicuous pur- 

 plish red flowers in April and May. Its 

 evergreen foliage takes on a rich, bron- 

 zy tint in the Winter months, making 

 it an aO year attraction: Each: 10-12 

 in. 90c., 12-15 in. $1.25, 15-18 in. $2.00, 

 18-24 in. $2.75.

 doubtedly the most popular of all Azaleas, with 

 many large, bright scarlet flowers gracing its 

 attractive evergreen foliage throughout the early 

 Summer. We are exceptionally fortunate this 

 season in having by far the largest and finest 

 supply of these beautiful plants that we have ever 

 seen, and we are off"ering them at prices which do 

 not begin to indicate their true worth. Each:
