wonderful beauty when in bloom, thebranches bending under a profusion of delicate 
pink delightfully fragrant rose-like flowers. Theonly sweet scented double flowering 
crab. It will require a little more room than the ordinary flowering shrubs on account 
of its tree-like habit of growth, and its full beauty can only be known and appreciated 
when it has plenty of room to develop. It is very often used as a single specimen plan t 
for lawn planting and in this location during its blooming period in May and June 
presents one of the most gorgeous sights imaginable. See Color Plate Page 79.

See Azalea Mollis in Color on Page 79 
The Azaleas are one of the most beautiful and popular families of hard,v flowering 
shrubs in cultivation, and the Chinese Mollis is perhaps the most satisfactory 
and most easily grown of all. Their great charm is in their wonderful array of 
color, they vary from light yellow to salmon and dark orange, scarcely two plants 
exactly alike in color. For best effect we suggest planting in groups as the yellow, 
orange and salmon blend beautifully together. They are perfectly hardy thriving 
under ordinary garden conditions but do best in a protected location where they 
will be in partial shade. For best success, prepare the soil to the depth of 15 to 18 
inches, using 50 per cent of well rotted leaf-mold from the woods or decayed peat 
from a swamp or both. Be careful that there is no lime in the soil. Water freely. 
The plants we offer are strong healthy plants that will give you lovely flowers the 
following spring.
