Japanese Azaleas 
Azaleas are among the most useful and inter¬ 
esting of flowering shrubs. In the size of flower 
and abundance of bloom, the brightness and 
variety of color, there is nothing in plant-life 
which will equal the beauty of this group. 
Azaleas will adapt themselves to a variety of 
situations. They will thrive in shade as well as 
in the full sun. They may be planted near trees, 
at the fringe of the woodland, or they may border 
the evergreens or shrubs at the house foundation. 
Azaleas prefer the acid soil and for this reason 
should always be planted with imported peat 
moss as a soil-conditioner. Liberal quantities 
should be used to mix with the soil when planting 
as well as for mulching purposes. Well watered 
and fertilized with a small portion of sulphate of 
ammonia, they will produce beauty far beyond 
your expectations. 
Cole’s Azaleas are liberally supplied with 
flower-buds, so that, when planted early, they 
make a glorious display of bloom the first 
spring.

A perfectly hardy variety with large, bell¬ 
shaped, orange- and flame-colored flowers in

mains attractive through the season. Each

Chinese Beauty-Berry 
Callicarpa purpurea

in late summer and early fall, with multitudes 
of berries of a unique shade of lavender which 
is not duplicated in any other plant. These 
berries are borne on long, graceful stems 
which are excellent for cutting. Beauty- 
Berry is a recent introduction worth its place 
in the garden or shrub border for the color of 
the berries alone. Grows to a height of 5 feet 
in any soil. Each Each
