AZALEAS AND RHODODENDRONS 
Including Both Tender and Hardy Species 
IUR collection of these superb shrubs or dwarf trees, so indispensable for Winter flowers, or for massing in bold 
outdoor groups, is easily the largest and choicest one in America. As they are most effective when intermingled, 
either for greenhouse or lawn decoration, we group them under one general head, including both tender and 
hardy species. They are grown in line shape and well rooted. All tints and shades of color are represented ia 
the best types of flowers. 
Varieties of Azalea Indica 
For Winter and early Spring flowering, the greenhouse Azaleas become more popular every year. Perhaps no other 
class of plants yields such a brilliant display of flowers for so little care. Tlie experience of many years has taught us that 
the dwarf standard or crown head is decidedly the best form in which to grow Azaleas for this country, and we therefore 
ofl'er only plants in that shape. The following collection embraces all the very best and most distinct sorts of both old and 
new varieties :
