AZALEA INDICA (CHINESE AZALEA). 
Our collection of these beautiful greenhouse plants comprises more than one 
hundred and titty varieties, and is unsurpassed in this country, many of our large 
specimens being six to eight feet high and three to live feet through, and are well 
worthy of inspection when in bloom in April and May. All the fluest European 
varieties are added every year. No plant is better adapted for parlor or conserva¬

offer are superb flowering kinds, more especially our seedlings, which are unequalled 
in size and color.
