AZAXiEA Indica. It is scarcely necessary to say 
anything in relation to these magnificent flowering 
shrubs, or dwarf trees, so well known and deservedly 
esteemed are they. Perhaps no other plants can afford 
such a brilliant display of lovely flowers with so little 
trouble. Many years of expei-ience has taught us that 
dwarf standard or crown heads are decidedly the best 
form in which to grow Azaleas for this country, and we 
therefore offer only plants in that shape. The following 
limited collection embraces all the very best and most 
distinct sorts of both old and new varieties, and we 
can sell them by the dozen or hundreds at moderate 
prices.
