EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
ABELIA grandiflora. 5'-6 '.Glossy Abelia. Half-evergreen. 
Dainty, bell-shaped, shell pink flowers produced 
69 throughout Summer. The glossy, Privetlike foliage 
will persist all Winter in a protected spot. Neat shrub. 
AZALEA 
AZALEA amoena. 4'-6'. Amoena Azalea. Evergreen. 
Grows broader than tall, with good, compact habit. 
70 The small boxlike leaves take on a warm, bronzy hue 
in Winter, but in Spring a mantle of magenta flowers 
is the striking feature. Most hardy evergreen form. 
A. arborescens. ISMS'. Sweet Azalea. Deciduous. 
The exquisitely fragrant white or blush flowers are 
71 among the latest of Azaleas to be seen in June. Suc¬ 
ceeds in moist or well drained places. Eventually 
becomes gnarled, interesting. 
A. calendulacea. 10'-12'. Flame Azalea. Deciduous. 
Possibly the most brilliant of our native shrubs, the 
72 flowers vary from orange to scarlet in late May. 
Rather dry, acid soil. 
A. hinodegiri. 4'-5'. Hinodegiri Azalea. Evergreen. 
This is the red Azalea which in May is actually cov- 
73 ered in a blanket of vivid carmine flowers. The foliage 
is lighter green and larger than that of “Amoena” and 
has a richer bronzy color in Winter. 
A. hinamoyo. 3'-4'. Pink Japan Azalea. Half-evergreen. 
Undoubtedly the best pink among the evergreen 
74 Azaleas, although in exposed locations will lose most 
of its leaves in Winter. 
A. kaempferi. 4'-5'. Torch Azalea. From salmon pink 
to orange red, the flowers transform this shrub into a 
75 thing of beauty. In a slightly shaded, sheltered spot, 
it is almost evergreen, and the color of the flowers is 
preserved. Has successfully withstood our worst 
Winters. 
Azalea 
A. kaempferi, Hybrids. 3'-4'. Carmen, Cleopatra, Fedora, 
Louise. Half-evergreen. Generally speaking, these 
76 hybrids have a lower, more bushy habit and the 
brilliant orange tints are missing. 
A. ledifolia alba. 2'-3'. Snow Azalea. Evergreen. 
77 Large white flower borne on bushy, low plants; a 
good plant to mix with Hinodegiri. 
A. mollis. 4'-5'. Ch inese Azalea. Deciduous. The mass of 
delicately shaded, large, bell-shaped flowers running 
78 through orange and red tones make a display worth 
waiting for each May. Succeeds best in sunny place. 
A. mucronulata (dahuricum). 5'-6'. Dahurian Azalea. 
Deciduous. A welcome sight in March is the exquisite- 
79 Iy frilled, rosy purple flowers—in pleasing contrast 
to the yellow Forsythia. 
A. nudiflora. 6'-7'. Pinxterbloom. Deciduous. The 
fragrance of this “Wild Honeysuckle” quickly betrays 
80 its home in light woods where the variable pink 
flowers are eagerly sought in May. Does well in the 
open sun too. 
A. pontica. 6'-8'. Pontic Azalea. Deciduous. A fine old 
81 kind with rich yellow, trumpet shaped, fragrant flowers 
borne in clusters at the tips of the bare branches. 
A. poukhanensis. 4'-5'. Korean Azalea. Deciduous. 
Almost a blue Azalea. Fine large blooms sweetly 
82 scented, scattered over the spreading bush—effective 
with Forsythia. 
A. schlippenbachi. Royal Azalea. Deciduous. A splen- 
83 did variety with large, pale, rose colored blooms, 
the upper lobes spotted brown. 
A. vaseyi. 10'-12'. Pinkshell Azalea. Deciduous. A most 
exquisite thing when the pure pink flowers open in 
84 early May—apparently just lightly resting in the bare 
twigs, its beauty is breath-taking. Happiest on 
margin of woods. Good for naturalistic planting.
