Hardy Evergreen Azaleas 
The Azaleas described in this section are generally known as Japanese Azaleas because most of 
them are of Chinese or Japanese origin. The finest Collection in the United States. 
One may enjoy a remarkable pageant of color in the garden by planting the Japanese Azaleas. 
They may be used extensively in groups, among other hardy broad-leaved evergreens, in rock- 
gardens, and even as forced plants in the conservatory. 
These Azaleas are not at all difficult to grow. Plant them in ordinary soil, adding leaf-mold before 
planting; use it also as a surface mulch. A soil suitable for Rhododendrons will grow Azaleas; it should 
be acid, not limed or alkaline. Most of the varieties are absolutely hardy but need protection.
