INDieA AZALEAS. 



These fine flowering plants, indispensable in effective house or conservatory decorations, are grown 

 in immense quantities in Belgium, the great annual supply for both England and the Continent being pro- 

 duced there. Many acres are devoted to these plants in the vicinity of the priucipal growing centers. 

 The plants are plunged in pots for the summer, and suitably jjrotected in winter. 



A feature is the growing of trained specimens in compact form, with solid heads from one to foiu" 

 feet in diameter. When in flower these plants are a solid mass of bloom, interspersed with j-ich foliage. 

 No such plants grown in such perfection are obtainable elsewhere in Europe or America. 



Prices, etc., for these specimens, §2.50 to $10 each; smaller plants, -SI to S2 each. Quotations per 

 dozen or hundred on application. 



Of other decorative plants I can supply leading Palms, Tree Ferns, Araucaeia Excelsa, Camel- 

 lias and pot-grown Azalea Mollis, either in specimens or smaller plants in quantity, of best quality,, 

 at low prices.
