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 
effect  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.

variety  which  is  fully  described  and  listed  among 
Evergreen  Shrubs  "  on  page  16. 
A.  arborescens.  Fragrant  White  Azalea.  (M)

grant. A  good  native  variety. 
75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz. 
A.  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  planting  at  the  front  of  Rhodo- 
dendron beds.  Our  plants  have  just  been  im- 
ported 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  we  are  not  able  to  distin- 
guish the  color  before  blooming.
