AZALEA—Hardy Varieties 
BUXUS—Boxwood 
These plants, combining as they do the advantages of 
both evergreens and flowering shrubs, have deservedly 
won their way to the forefront of popularity. Once 
established, they remain for years, often for genera¬ 
tions, becoming more beautiful, increasing in value, 
and assuming more distinct character with each pass¬ 
ing season. For worth while permanent foundation 
plantings, for generous use in the natural landscape, 
and, properly placed, as individual specimens, they are 
unsurpassed. 
Culture. Plant in full sun, never in shade, in soil 
freely mixed with leaf mold and peat in about equal 
proportions. A yearly top dressing of well rotted 
staole manure or one pound of Wayside Gardens 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; never cultivate. 
Water freely in dry weather. 
*Amoena Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(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. Should be planted in 
sheltered positions and will abundantly repay for any 
care given. 
Calendulacea Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Flame Azalea). Probably the most gorgeous ot 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 
olten 2 inches across. Foliage remains good until late 
fall and breaks in the spring just before the blooms 
appear. 
♦Kaempferi Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Torch Azalea). One of the most popular, hardiest and 
most satisfactory of all; a vigorous grower, never fail¬ 
ing to produce its orange-red flowers in May; excellent 
as a point of emphasis in the mixed shrubbery border. 
Whoever plants a garden for permanency should use 
Box generously. There exists a very general miscon¬ 
ception that Box grows extremely slowly. If well 
cared for and well fed, Box bushes increase in size 
rapidly. Box is one of the few ornamental evergreens 
which represent a real cash investment; it increases 
in value with each year’s growth, and always finds a 
ready sale, if for any reason you may ever wish to dis¬ 
pose of your home or your plants. 
For edging beds and for walks, use the True Dwarf 
Box (Suffruticosa); for specimen plants, tall hedges, 
foundation plantings, use the Common Box (Semper- 
Virens). There is a considerable difference in the sev¬ 
eral strains or types of Box used for propagating. 
Ours are all grown from carefully selected, vigorous, 
true-to-type and hardy specimens.

brilliant colors, the fruit or berries become scarlet.
