<t /[£ ALEAS 
Once again , 
The T^urume Azaleas , 
(favored children 
Of the (flowery Kingdom, 
er up their sweetness 
To a waking Spring. 
Once again , 
They spread their exotic rugs 
Under the lacy trees. 
£o varied are their forms. 
So brilliant or dainty their hues , 
That you will surely find 
Tour heard s desire 
JEurking within their smiling ranks. 
And many have fragrance , too , 
A haunting woodsy fragrance , 
Tyminding one of the long-lost springs 
In forests cool. 
Cf 
ff ew flowering shrubs excel these 
evergreen Japanese Kurume Aza¬ 
leas in variety and adaptability. For 
house or patio, the potted or tubbed 
plants supply a charming and alto¬ 
gether different note. Their blos¬ 
soms are unequaled for cutting, as 
they will last for two long weeks 
in water. Use them for favors, leis, 
or simply heap them in low bowls, 
where their dainty freshness and 
color will add to the atmosphere of 
your home.
