BROAD-LEAVE 
AZALEAS 
These spectacular flowering shrubs are becoming more 
and more popular because of their easy culture and thor¬ 
ough dependability. Both the native species and the 
Asiatic varieties thrive in our gardens and furnish brilliant 
coloring over a long period. 
Azalea calendulacea, the Flame Azalea, a native of the 
Atlantic States south of Pennsylvania, is a large shrub 
with orange-yellow to scarlet flowers 2 inches across, 
freely produced during May and June and is probably 
the most gorgeous of the native Azaleas. 
Of the Asiatic Azaleas, A. Kaempferi, the Torch 
Azalea, is a variety of A. obtusum that comes to us from 
Japan and is hardy as far north as New England. The 
2 -inch flowers varying from orange-red to pink, literally 
hide the plant when in bloom. In the shrub border or in 
open woodland they make a beautiful picture and increase 
in value year by year. 
HYBRID 
RHODODENDRONS 
One of the finest borders 
or hedges we can think of 
is one of these splendid 
year-round evergreens. The 
Rhododendrons, with their 
long, leathery foliage which 
keeps its glossy greenness 
all winter, laughing at wind 
and cold, ice and snow, are 
always attractive, but when, 
in May and June, they are 
in bloom these Hybrids 
make a glorious showing, 
the great globular clusters 
of flowers running the color- 
range from white through 
lilac, lavender, pink, rose, 
crimson, and purple. 
We doubt that any other 
planting will give as much 
pleasure and enjoyment as 
these Hybrid Rhododen¬ 
drons.
