AZALEAS 
HARDY AND SEMI-HARDY 
♦ALTACLARENSIS 
5-6 ft. This is one of the finest of the Hardy Azaleas. The flower 
trusses, which are large and beautifully built (often measuring six 
inches in diameter), come in the most beautiful shades of orange, and 
are delightfully fragrant. This variety is unsurpassed in landscaping 
for its masses of gorgeous orange colors in the Spring, and its luxurious 
foliage, turning almost to a bright red in the Fall. Blooming size $1.00 
to $7.50 each; smaller plants 50c each. 
AMOENA

blooms. 50c and $1.00 each.

shades of yellow to orange. Blooming size $1.00 to $2.50 each.

5 ft. A newly introduced variety of Azalea since the federal embargo

and has proven of great merit to the flower garden. Blooming size 
75c to $3.00 each.

choice. $1.00 each. 
♦MOLLIS 
5 ft. A rather slow-growing free-flowering shrub from Japan and China, 
with a variety of beautiful colors—yellow, orange and salmon-pink 
being the prevailing colors. It is very hardy and, being of slow growth, 
may be grouped in the foreground of a mass of the taller kinds of 
Azaleas, Rhododendrons or other tall-growing shrubs. It is also very 
effective in mass planting, and highly useful for the rockery. Blooming 
size 50c each and up.

white flowers in late May. Very fragrant. Will do best in partial shade. 
Blooming size 50c each and up. 
♦PONTICA HYBRID (Ghent Hybrids) 
Words cannot describe the beauty of this hardy Azalea. Its colors 
are very similar to that of A. Mollis, but more fragrant. It comes in 
bloom when most other deciduous Azaleas are through blooming. 
Blooming size $1.00 to $2.50 each. 
POUKHANENSIS (Korean Azalea) 
A beautiful variety. The purple-lilac color of the flowers is unique 
among the Azaleas. Perfectly hardy. $1.00 each.

are pale roae spotted with red-brown. A very fine shrub. Mr. Wilson, 
in speaking of the Diamond Mountains in Korea, says: "In June, 
these regions are a wonderful sight, with literally miles and miles of 
the purest pink from the millions of flowers of this Azalea.” $1.50 to 
♦VASEYI (Piiikshell Azalea) 
6-15 ft. This Azalea is perhaps the most profuse bloomer of all the 
native species, and is the more conspicuous as its white, pink or rose- 
colored flowers appear in early May before the foliage. Autumn 
usually turns the leaves a deep, dark crimson, greatly enhancing its 
beauty and value. Best at home in a moist and shadt situation. 
50c to $5.00 each.
