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.
