AZALEA VISCOSA 
AZALEA 
Most of the Azaleas, while preferring acid soil, 
will grow over a much wider range than Rho¬ 
dodendrons and Mountain Laurel. They are 
comparatively easy to grow. Our plants are 
shipped with a ball of earth unless otherwise 
requested. 
Sweet Azalea [A. arborescens]. From the 
South. Perfectly hardy here in the North, 
though not attaining such a large size. Blos¬ 
soms in early summer. Fragrant small white 
flowers. 18 to 24 in. $2.50 each, .$22.50 per 10; 
2 to 2 y 2 ft. $3.25 each, $30.00 per 10. 
Flame Azalea [A. calendulacea ]. This thrives 
over a wide range. Blossoms very freely when 
young, varying in color from pale yellow to 
dark red. May flowering. 2 to 2J4> ft. $2.25 
each, $20.00 per 10; 2^ to 3 ft. $3.00 each, 
$27.50 per 10. 
Swamp Pink [A. rosea}. I think it the best of 
all the species. The deep rose flowers almost 
bury the bush in late May and the intense 
clove pink fragrance is wafted for a con¬ 
siderable distance in the evening. This is 
apparently identical with the Azalea canes- 
cens of the South and is very superior to 
Azalea nudiflora, which lacks the color, the 
fragrance and the compact habit of growth 
which Azalea rosea possesses. Will grow in 
either wet ground or dry. 2 to 3 ft. $3.00 
each, $28.00 per 10. Large specimens quoted 
on request. 
Pinkshell Azalea [A. vaseyi], A native of the 
southern Appalachian Mountains, but one of 
the hardiest of all Azaleas. After the severe 
winter of 1933-34 vaseyi and rosea were the 
only two to blossom freely. A rather open 
habit of growth. The flowers are large and 
clear light pink in color. It is the earliest to 
blossom in the spring. 18 to 24 in. $2.50 each, 
$22.50 per 10; 2 to 2^ ft. $3.25 each, $30.00 
per 10. 
White Swamp Azalea [A. viscosa]. A fragrant 
white Azalea which blooms throughout most 
of the summer. 2 to 3 ft. $1.75 each, $16.00 
per 10. 
BERBERIS

type with small leaves, which is used as a sub¬ 
stitute for Boxwood in formal edgings. 10 to 
12 in. 35c each, $3.00 per 10, $25.00 per 100; 
12 to 15 in. 50c each, $4.00 per 10, $35.00 per 
100 . 
TRUEHEDGE COLUMBERRY 
B. thunbergi plurijlora erecta. U. S. 
Plant Patent No. liO. A new Barberry, 
growing naturally very erect, making a 
compact growth and requiring very 
little trimming. Perfectly upright, 
pyramidal in shape and growing in a 
very dense fashion, Truehedge Colum- 
berry produces an “Immediate Effect” 
on planting whereas from : three to four 
years are needed to build a satisfactory 
hedge from the Common Japanese 
Barberry. The plant is heavier with 
foliage. The leaves appear larger and 
thicker and of a deeper, glossier, 
healthier shade of green. Truehedge 
Columberry takes on richer and deeper 
fall colorings than the common variety. 
The berries are similar in size and color 
but if anything this new Barberry 
appears heavier in fruit. Prices not 
subject to discount.
