Azaleas 
Nothing in flowers could be more brilliant and showy than 
those of the Azalea. They belong to the same genus as rhododen¬ 
drons and can be harmoniously planted with them. Most of them 
will have finished blooming when the rhododendrons begin. 
Select a place and plant them this spring, or even when they 
are in bloom, or later. Carry out the idea of a'fairy woodland. 
The colors range through white, orange, lemon-yellow, yellow, 
light pink, deep pink, bright red, and deep red. The main thing 
is to get them planted. Then as they grow and bloom, move 
them apart, extend the area, and arrange the color-harmony to 
express your ideas. All they ask is a mulch of oak leaves all the 
year, and moisture. They are thankful for shade. 
Deciduous Azaleas 
This group drop their leaves in the fall. They are profuse 
bloomers and have an extended season on blooms. They are most 
useful for naturalizing along edge of woodland, drives, and paths.
