THE BEAUTIFUL 



Azalea Mollis. 



ONE OFTHE GRANDEST 



WINTER-BLOOMING 



POT PLANTS. 



VE have effected a special ar- 

 rangement with one of the 

 largest growers of Azaleas 

 in Europe to furnish us with this 

 magnificent new variety, which 

 we now offer for the first time, 

 for Fall and Winter blooming. 

 By closing our contracts early, 

 before the passage of the new 

 tariff law, which places an import 

 duty of 25 per cent, on goods of 

 this character, and having bought 

 in large quantities, we are able to 

 offer thib unusually expensive 

 plant at a low price. Why pay 

 ^1 or §2 for an Azalea at Christ- 

 mas time, when we can sell you 

 the same plant at half price? 

 Then, too, you have the pleasure 

 of watching the development of 

 its flowers day by day. 



Produces This grand variety is the 



Grand Flowers, most brilliant and sliowy of 

 all this family, and is consid- 

 ered one of the greatest acquisitions of recent 

 years. While it is the ideal plant for Winter 

 blooming, it is also valuable in the open ground, 

 where it is entirely hardy. It forms a compact 

 symmetrical bush of handsome proportions. Its 

 beautiful flowers are large and showy, covering 

 the entire surface of the plant with bloom. The 

 colors are very diverse and of the greatest rich- 

 ness, ranging through shades of yellow, orange 

 and red, and intense rosy crimson. The large trusses 

 of bloom make a gorgeous display that finds its equal 

 in no other plant we know. The plants will be sent 

 you in a dormant state, with the flower buds already 

 formed, ready to open. 



Culture. They are easy to succeed with, being ab- 

 solutely sure to bloom under ordinary treat- 

 ment. When the plant is received, place it in a fairly 

 rich, loamy soil, and keep for a few days in a darkened

situation. Keep fairly warm and water moderately. 

 Then gradually bring into the light and heat, and 

 water sparingly once a day. Under this treatment the 

 flower buds will soon begin to develop, and gradually 

 unfold their lovehness. When the plant is received, if 

 you do not care to have it bloom for a while, or if you 

 wish to defer planting, keep in a dark, cool place 

 secure from heat and frost ; place a slight covering of 

 soil over the roots and it may be kept in a dormant 

 state as long as desired. 



It is Sure to Become Immensely Popular.
