lutea {cakndulacea). Flame Azalea. 6 lo 15 ft. 
The most regal of all the species, native or 
exotic, and a noble representative of our rich 
Carolina mountain flora. Barlram, speaking 
of it in his "Travels," calls it the "fiery Azalea," 
and says: "This epithet fiery I annex to this 
most celebrated species of Azalea as being 
expressive of the appearance of its flowers, 
which are in general of the color of the finest 
red lead, orange, and bright gold as well as 
yellow and cream color. This is certainly the 
most gay and brilliant-flowering shrub yet

budded. These A. lutea are splendid clumps 
with a mass of buds, and range in color from
