Azaleas and Unusual Shrubs 
AZALEA - Hardy Varieties 
*Amoena (Japanese Evergreen Azalea). 
10-12 in. Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00 
A dwarf shrub with double purplish red flowers in May; is

Probably the most gorgeous of the native Azaleas. From 
early May until well into the month of June, the plants are 
literally covered with orange-yellow or flame-red blooms 
which in size are often 2 inches across. The well known 
Ghent Azaleas rarely equal in brilliancy this native species. 
Foliage remains good until late fall and breaks in the spring 
just before the blooms appear. 10-12 inch selected clumps, 
balled and burlapped, nursery grown.
