Azaleas 



Among the most gorgeous and best-flowering 

 plants in cultivation. They are useful in all land- 

 scape work, whether it be a large or small area. 

 They are attractive when used in connection with 

 plantings of Mt. Laurel and Rhododendrons, although 

 their beauty is perhaps best displayed when used in 

 groups by themselves. Although somewhat partial 

 to shady places they will thrive in the open. A 

 mulch of leaves on the ground about them will be 

 found beneficial at all seasons. Thrive best in deep, 

 moist, well-drained soil. After the flowering 

 season is over remove the seed-pods to increase 

 the next season's bloom. 



Azalea amoena. The handsome evergreen variety 

 is fully described on page 31. 



A. arborescens. Fragrant White Azalea. (S). 

 Flowers white with pink stamens. They are fra- 

 grant and last a long time. The leaves in Autumn

A. mollis. Chinese Azalea. (D). This little

A. pontica. Ghent Azalea. (D). April. This 

 species is unequaled for brilliancy and variety of 

 color. The habit is very similar to A. Mollis; the 

 flowers not quite so large or perfect; the colors 

 possibly a little more delicate. An especially pretty 

 shrub to plant among beds of Rhododendrons and 

 other broad-leaved Evergreens.

No other expenditure that one makes in building a home gives as much real permanent, wholesome enjoyment 

 the trees and shrubbery with which his grounds are decorated. Judgment in the selection of varieties, taste in 

 iarranging them and about $35.00 of Moons' Shrubbery give an effect like we illustrate. How can you afford to delay 

 ^such an improvement? Why, it enhances your property infinitely more than the cost of plants.
