HARDY AZALEAS. 
Of all the hardy flowering shrubs, none, perhaps, afford such a variety in 
color as the Azaleas, for almost every shade of pink, white, yellow, orange, 
and scarlet is to be found among them ; and as they generally flower in great 
profusion, and are, many of them, deliciously scented, they deserve to be 
universally planted. The following varieties are perfectly hardy, and will 
flourish wherever Rhododendrons are grown.
