HARDY FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 
Cor all season’s bloom 
Azaleas 
are among the most beautiful shrubs which we 
can have in our gardens, but they have not been 
used nearly as much as they deserve. It may be that some have erroneously 
believed them difficult to grow. They like a peaty soil and a half shaded 
place. While they will tolerate no lime in the soil, they are not bothered 
by insects or diseases nor do they require any extra care beyond a good 
watering at their flowering period. 
Azaleas are slow growing, but they live a long time. Their flowers are 
large and showy and often cover the whole plant with their brilliancy. 
Some varieties bloom in April and others continue through the season to 
July. They are expensive to produce as it takes many years, besides great 
skill and care to handle them in an infantile stage, for they are as tiny and 
delicate as young orchids. Don’t forget that Azalea flowers match the orchid’s too in fragile beauty if not always in size. 
Azalea calendulacea (Flame Azalea)—Yellow orange to flame red 
flowers in May and June. One of the most beautiful in brilliance 
and abundance of bloom. 18-24", $2.00; 2-2J^', $2.75 each.

each.
