The French Azaleas are nice plants, and will give satisfaction, but 
it takes so long to bring them from the south of France that the buds 
| are apt to be injured, and they do not bloom satisfactorily the first sea¬ 
son. After the first season they will bloom as well as any other stock. 
Special Offer of Azalea Mollis 
We 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. Azalea mollis is of compara¬ 
tively dwarf, bush-like habit, with light green leaves, which are somewhat larger than those of other Azaleas. 
The flowers are as large as the Indian Azaleas usu¬ 
ally seen in greenhouses, being 2 % to 3 inches in diam¬ 
eter, 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 Rhododendron beds, as the dark green leaves of the 
Rhododendrons make a strong background for the bright 
colors of the Azaleas. They are also valuable for mix¬ 
ing in beds with the Azalea Pontica (Ghent Azalea), as 
they bloom a little in advance of the others. 
Price. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100; fine 
large plants, 12 to 18 inches, well set with bloom buds, 
65 cts. each, $0.50 per doz.; larger plants, $1, $1.50, $2 
and $2.50 each, according to size. 
NATIVE AND OTHER AZALEAS 
Our native Azaleas are easily among the most 
beautiful (lowering shrubs in the world, but hitherto it 
has been impossible to get good plants of them, as the 
stock generally offered is newly collected from the 
woods and very unsatisfactory. The following stock we 
have had specially grown for our customers, and, with 
the exception of Azalea nudiflora, is strictly first-class 
and in splendid condition, and many of the plants well 
set with bloom buds.
