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 

 eftect is desired. The native kinds grow well in 

 heavy, moist soil; all are partial to shad\- places. 

 After the flowering season is over, remove 

 the seed-pods to increase the next season's 

 bloom.
