7 he French Azaleas are nice plants, and will give satisfaction, but it takes 
so long to bring them from the South of France that the bloom buds are apt to 
be injured, and they do not bloom satisfactorily the first season. After the first 
sea on they will bloom as well as any other stock. 
Flowers of Azalea Mollis. 
Special Offer of Azalea Mollis. 
I take special pleasure in offering an exceptionally nice lot of small Azalea 
Mollis at a price much less than ever made before. The plants are 8 to 12 
inches high, bushy and in fine condition, a small percentage of them being set 
with buds. The Azalea Mollis is of comparative dwarf, bush-like habit, with 
light green leaves, which are somewhat larger than those of other azaleas. 
The flowers areas large as the Indian Azaleas, usually seen in greenhouses, 
being two and a half to three inches in diameter, and appear in bunches on the 
ends of the shoots. The colors are of various shades of yellow and red, and 
they expand about the middle of May. 
We know of no other flowering shrub to equal them in attractiveness, and 
when massed in a large bed they create a particularly beautiful spot on the lawn. 
They are also very effective when planted around the edges of Rhododen¬ 
dron beds, as the dark green leaves of the Rhododendrons make a strong back¬ 
ground for the bright colors of the Azaleas. They are also valuable for mixing 
in beds with the Azalea Pontica (Ghent Azalea), as they bloom a little in ad¬ 
vance of the others. Price, 35 cents each, $ 3.50 per dozen, $ 25.00 per hundred. 
Fine large plants, 12 to 18 inches, well set with bloom buds, 65 cents each, 
$ 6.50 per dozen, J 35.00 per hundred. 
Native and Other Azaleas. 
Our native Azaleas are easily among the most beautiful flowering shrubs in the world, but hitherto it has been im¬ 
possible to get good plants of them as the stock generally offered is newly collected from the woods and very unsatisactory. 
The following stock I have had specially grown for my customers, and with the exception of Azalea Nudifi.ora, it is 
strictly first class and in splendid condition, and many of the plants well set with bloom buds.
