AZALEA INDICA 
The Indica varieties in the North are used only for forcing, being too tender to 
grow outside, but they are the glory of gardens in the Lower South. The Magnolia 
Gardens and the Middleton Gardens in South Carolina are famed for their Indian 
Azaleas. These beautiful Azaleas are hybrids of A. indica formosa, A. mucronata, 
A. obtusa, and many others. In the South, where conditions suit them, they are 
long-lived plants. They require the same growing conditions, sour soil, etc., as 
the other varieties we have mentioned.

Formosa. Classed under the lavender-lilac 
group. Its rose-purple flowers are probably 
the finest of its color and are freely pro¬ 
duced early in the season. The plants are 
strong growing, with good foliage. 
Phoenicia. Resembles Formosa but has 
sticky buds which open into rosy lilac or 
lavender flowers. It blooms early on strong 
plants whose leaf-tufts at the ends of the 
twigs droop. 
Vittata Fortunei (vittata punctata). A 
strong, open grower, blooming in north 
Florida from September to February. 
Flowers very variable, from almost pure 
Vittata Fortunei, continued 
white with faint lavender stripes to self- 
colored pale lavender. Sometimes a bush 
may produce flowers of one color only, or 
they may be mixed on one plant. Valuable 
for its long flowering season. 
William Bull. Small, double salmon flowers, 
produced on an open branched, picturesque 
plant late in the season.
