Azalea 
Evergreen  Shrubs 
These  "  Broad-leaved  Evergreens "  are  being  used  more  and  more  each  year  because  they  are  so 
desirable  and  effective  in  all  landscape  work.  Their  heavy  leaf  masses  meet  the  demand  for  fresh  green 
foliage  to  enliven  and  cheer  the  bare  aspect  of  deciduous  trees  and  shrubs  in  winter.  But  best  of  all 
is  the  magnificent  display  that  most  of  them  make  when  in  bloom,  especially  the  Rhododendrons  and 
Kalmias.  Another  desirable  quality  most  of  them  have  is  such  a  fondness  for  shady  places  that  they 
meet  a  large  demand  in  beautifying  these  spots  which  are  usually  thought  so  difficult  to  adorn.  As  a 
rule  they  transplant  easily,  are  quite  hardy,  give  immediate  results  and  are  altogether  very  satis- 
factory things  to  use.

Azalea  amoena 
A  bushy,  dwarf  evergreen  with  small  green  leaves  that  deepen  to  a  lustrous  coppery  hue  in  winter. 
Its  neat  appearance  is  attractive  at  all  seasons,  but  in  April  or  May  the  whole  plant  is  clothed  with  a 
mass  of  brilliant,  claret-colored  flowers,  that  hold  their  beauty  three  or  four  weeks.  Such  beautiful 
little  plants  are  ornaments  anywhere,  and  are  especially  desirable  for  edging  drives  and  walks,  for 
dwarf  hedges,  groups  or  for  bordering  Rhododendrons  and  Kalmia  beds.  The  habit  of  this  Azalea  is  so 
dense  and  compact  that  it  makes  splendid  low  flowering  hedges,  for  which  purpose  we  highly  recom- 
mend it.                                                                                                                         Each       10  100
