AZALEAS 
Among  the  most  gorgeous  and  best  flowering 
plants  in  cultivation.  They  are  useful  in  all  land- 
scape work,  and  can  be  employed  in  bedding  or 
massing,  and  particularly  in  connection  with  Rho- 
dodendrons and  Kalmias  or  wherever  a  natural  ef- 
fect is  desired.  The  native  kinds  grow  well  in  heavy 
moist  soil ;  all  are  partial  to  shady  places.  After 
the  flowering  season  is  over  remove  the  seed-pods 
to  increase  the  next  season's  bloom.

Azalea  mollis.    Chinese  Azalea.    (D)  This 
little  plant  bursts  out  all  over  with  bloom  in 
April  or  May.    The  flowers  are  rather  larger 
than  those  of  some  other  Azaleas.  The  bloom  ^ 
shows  a  multiplicity  of  colors  in  shades  of  ^ 
red,  yellow  and  white.    It  is  a  splendid  thing 
for  plantings  of  all  kinds  and  especially  for  plant- 
ing at  the  front  of  Rhododendron  beds.  Our 
plants  have  just  been  imported  and  are  filled 
with  buds  that  will  open  and  flower  abundantly 
this  spring.    The  stock  was  raised  from  seed 
and  includes  magnificent  flowering  plants,  but

A.  Pontica.  Ghent  Azalea.  (D)  This  species 
is  unequaled  for  brilliancy  and  variety  of  color.

some  protection  in  winter.  The  habit  is  very 
similar  to  A.  mollis;  the  flowers  not  quite  so 
large  or  perfect ;  the  colors  possibly  a  little  more 
delicate.  A  desirable  plant.  Our  stock  is  imported.

BERBERIS     THE  BARBERRIES 
A  valuable  group  of  small  shrubs,  admired  for  their  foliage  and  brilliant  fruits  that  cling  along  the 
leafless  branches  at  a  time  when  few  other  shrubs  are  attractive.  They  can  be  grown  in  dry  and  sandy 
soils,  as  well  as  other  places.  The  dense  habit,  slender  thorny  branches  and  ability  to  withstand  clipping, 
make  the  Barberries  invaluable  for  low  hedges  and  boundaries.  They  are  much  admired  for  the  front  of 
shrubberies,  for  groups  and  wherever  small  shrubs  are  desired.    Plant  in  spring  or  fall.
