when but few other sorts are in bloom. They at¬ 
tain a height of from six to ten feet. Wo can

green in color. 
THE ALTHEA, ROSE OF SHARON 
AZALEA 
HARDY GHENT — This clas.*! of Azaleas are suf¬ 
ficiently hardy for open air culture and will 
stand our winters without protection, though a 
mulching of straw or loose litter is desirable, at 
least until they become established. They are 
among the most beautiful of flowering shrubs, 
presenting the best effect where massed in beds. 
They require a soil adapted to them to give good 
results. Like Rhododendrons they should have 
a sandstone soil and do not succeed on a lime 
stone soil.

Rhododendron, in fine trusses and of various
