Azaleas 
Among  the  most  gorgeous  and  best-flowering 
plants  in  cultivation.  They  are  useful  in  all 
landscape  work,  and  can  be  employed  in  bedding 
or  massing,  and  particularly  in  connection  with 
Rhododendrons  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.

green variety,  which  is  fully  described  and  listed

sort  to  plant  among  beds  of  Rhododendrons  and 
other  broad-leaved  evergreens.
