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. 



Under the chapter of Evergreen Shrubs will also be 

 found several varieties of Azaleas, classified there be- 

 cause their foliage is almost evergreen. Be sure to look 

 those over before definitely making out your list because 

 there are some very attractive plants included among 

 the assortment.

 other broad-leaved Evergreens.
