HARDY JAPANESE AZALEA 
What we are listing Hardy Japanese Azaleas 
and Keampferi include probably largest varieties 
of best money making possibility to Nurserymen 
and Florists of Southern half of United States than 
any other group of plants of present day. All of 
them are evergreen except a few varieties which 
will lose leaves in New England states, and color 
range is large—white, pink, salmon, orange, red 
and variegated. Certain varieties bloom early, others 
late, each has its characteristic bloom of its own. 
The whole country is sick and tired of ever¬ 
greens and common flowering shrubs. They are 
wanting bright colors early in Spring and something 
different and what is better than this group of 
hardy evergreen azaleas ? Most of Nurserymen in 
this large section of country do not know them¬ 
selves what a big opportunity is waiting for them 
to stimulate our trade by offering this bright flow¬ 
ering plant to' their customers.
