New Azalea-Flowered Godetias 
Wonderful Flowers that Rival the Loveliest Potted Azaleas 
Of all the hardy annuals for garden 
decoration, Godetias are unsurpassed for 
the brilliant effect they produce in beds 
and borders. The new Dwarf Azalea- 
Flowered varieties are also highly recom¬ 
mended for pot culture. For outdoor 
culture, the seed may be sown in the 
garden, the same as asters. When 
thinned to about a foot apart each plant 
makes a compact bush about a foot 
high. The big beautiful blossoms are 
produced in such profusion as to just 
about hide the plant. It is surely a 
revelation, and you will be surprised 
and delighted. They are especially 
recommended for shady locations where 
many other flowers will not bloom. We 
have the three following varieties to 
offer: 
DWARF DOUBLE AZALEA-FLOW¬ 
ERED, CARMINEA. Pink with crimson 
blotched center. So free flowering that 
when it is in full flower it is nothing but 
bloom. May be called an annual Azalea.
