Hardy Azaleas. 
The hardy species of Azalea are quite as handsome in their way as the greenhouse varieties. In early spring 
and summer they are gay masses of bright bloom. We offer only the best and most distinct sorts. They are trained 
into shapely form, and all are well-rooted. The native as well as the foreign varieties are quite handsome, and, being 
naturally adapted to our soil and climate, thrive with very little care. 
AZALEA amoena. Dwarf and bushy, with bright rosy 
purple or reddish flowers that form a mass of color in 
May. The shrub is entirely hardy, and its leaves, 
which turn to bronzy crimson in autumn, are retained 
all winter. 50 cents. 
A, caleudulacea. Large, widely open flowers of pure 
yellow, orange, or bronze-brown and reddish colors. 
The flowers and leaves appear together, so that the 
loose, graceful trusses are shown very effectively. 
A native species of great beauty ; grows naturally 
into a dwarf, spreading bush, and blossoms late in 
spring when Azalea flowers begin to be scarce. 
A. mollis. A Japanese species, with large, downy, very 
brilliant flowers of red, yellow, orange and primrose. 
The foliage is rich green, large and handsome, a 
fine relief to the gay flowers ; all the best varieties. 
50 cts. to $1 
AZALEA nudiflora. Clustered rose and light pink 
flowers, appearing very early, before the leaves. 
Another fine native species, taller growing than A. 
calendulacea, and very free-flowering. 
A. Poiitica. The Ghent and Pontica hybrids rank next 
to Rhododendrons for decorating lawns and pleasure- 
grounds, and are almost invariably combined with 
them. The shrubs grow from 3 to 4 feet high, 
blooming throughout May and June. Their rich and 
handsome flowers range through nearly all colors, 
and are delightfully fragrant. They are hardy with 
slight protection. 50 cts. to $1. 
A. viscosa. Pure white, sweet-scented flowers, borne 
profusely trusses of medium size. A dwarf-growing 
native shrub, that thrives best in somewhat damp 
and shaded sitgations. The flowers and leaves ap- 
pear together ; the latter have a silvery tint beneath. 
Price, except where noted, 25 to 50 cents each ; special dozen and hundred rates.
