Azalea - Hardy Varieties 
These plants, combining as they do the advantages of boih 
evergreens and flowering shrubs, have deservedly won their way 
to the forefront of popularity. Once established, they remain 
for years, often for generations, becoming more beautiful, in¬ 
creasing in value, and assuming more distinct character, with 
each passing season. For worth while permanent foundation 
plantings, for generous use in the natural landscape, and, prop¬ 
erly placed, as individual specimens, they are unsurpassed. 
Culture. Plant in full sun in soil freely mixed with leaf-mold 
and peat in about equal proportions. A yearly top dressing of 
well rotted stable manure or one pound of Wayside Garden 
Plant Food scattered around each plant in the fall will help to 
produce abundant blooms. Remove faded flowers at once, do 
not let plants go to seed. Water freely in dry weather.

*Amoena (Japanese Evergreen Azalea). A dwarf 
shrub with double purplish red flowers in May; is 
especially adapted for borders and rock gardens; 
needs some protection in northern latitudes.

Calendulacea (Flame Azalea). Probably the most 
gorgeous of the native Azaleas. From early May 
until well into the month of June,, the plants are 
literally covered with orange-yellow or flame-red 
blooms which in size are often 2 inches across. 
The well-known Ghent Azaleas rarely equal in 
brilliancy this native species. Foliage remains 
good until late fall and breaks in the spring just 
before the blooms appear. 10-12 in. selected 
clumps, balled and burlapped, nursery grown ... 1.00 10.00

orous grower, never failing to produce its brick- 
red flowers in May: excellent as a point of em¬ 
phasis in the mixed shrubbery border.

Mollis, Louisa Hunnewell. Derived from a cross 
between Azalea mollis and Azalea japonica, this 
new variety is hardier than either parent and is 
more beautiful and floriferous. The huge clus¬

cover the plants while they are in bloom. One of 
the showiest. Plants 12 to 15 inches . 1.60 18.00 
Nudiflora (Pinxter Bloom). An extremely beautiful 
Azalea. Rosy pink or whitish blooms, after or be¬

attractive shades of orange and bronze. Fine for 
dry, open places. 10-12 in. selected clumps, balled 
and burlapped, nursery grown . 1.00 10.00
