AZALEAS. 



We are now booking orders for fall delivery. Buyers who use a quantity of this most popular Easter blooming plant, 

 will find it to their interest to place their orders for next season's wants early, thereby securing the choice of the stock 

 at lowest cost for transportation, as the plants can be forwarded with perfect safety during October, by fast freight, even to 

 the most distant points. 



Our attention is frequently directed to other growers and dealers offering Azaleas of the same diameter as herein 

 quoted, at much lower prices. "We wish to say in reference to this stock, that there is more than one way of measuring 

 an Azalea, and while a plant may measure 15 inches in diameter, it may be really worth less thau another plant that 

 only measures 12 inches in diameter. Most of this stock is grown on quickly without sufficient cutting back, the idea 

 being to get a plant so many inches in diameter. 



We would here say that we do not offer our stock in competition with this class of plant. We have been handling 

 Azaleas as a specialty for many years ; last year we distributed nearly 25,000 plants, without a single complaint of any 

 consequence. 



Our prices are as low as first-class, bushy, well budded stock can be supplied for, and we are certain that they will 

 give entire satisfaction. 



Our growers in Belgium are among the most successful men handling Azaleas ; they have been specialists in this 

 line for many years, and their principal stock is sent to us. 



All of our importations of Azaleas are sent here in bulk, and are all repacked at our own nurseries, so that any plants 

 that may not have carried well are set aside. This insures our customers of securing only first-class stock, which cannot 

 be compared with cheap assorted case lots which are made up in Belgium, and are distributed on this side just as received, 

 frequently not only containing damaged plants, but also, as a rule, many varieties not at all suited to the American trade. 



The varieties we supply are only the most popular sorts suited to the American market. We give personal attention 

 to the selection of these stocks abroad, and can guarantee satisfaction. We offer well budded plants with bushy crowns. 



Fine bushy crowns, well set, with buds, 10 to 12 inches in diameter §35.00 per 100.
