Native and Other Azaleas 
Our native Azaleas are easily among the most beautiful flowering 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 is strictly first-class and in splendid condition, and many of the plants well set with bloom buds. 
AZALEA arborescens (Native). Splendid foliage throughout the 
summer. Large white, sweet-scented flowers; the latest Azalea 
to bloom; tine plants, 12 to 18 inches, 75 cts. each, $8 per doz.,

dwarf evergreen shrub. The flowers produced in the spring are 
a bright fiery red. $2 each; large bushy plants, $3.50. 
Azalea Nudiflora (Native). This is the Azalea found so plentiful in

time grow to be 12 or 15 feet high. 75 cts. each, $8 per doz.

12 to 18 inches, 75 cts. each, $8 per doz. 
Rhododendrons 
We believe we are the largest importers of these splendid evergreen shrubs in this country, and offer a very superior quality of plants. 
The varieties we supply are of unquestioned hardiness, and are certain to give first-class results when properly planted. They require a deep 
and light soil, and a bed for them should be dug out to the depth of 2 feet and filled in with light loamy soil mixed with one-half its bulk of 
turfy sods chopped up fine. No manure should be mixed in the soil, but an annual mulching of cow manure is beneficial. 
We publish an illustrated descriptive pamphlet on Rhododendrons and their culture, which will be sent on request. We will also quote 
very low prices on Rhododendrons to be imported to order. Orders not to be received later than March 1. 
Best Named Varieties. About 18 inches high; good bushy plants, i Seedling Hybrids. Perfectly hardy and beautiful assortment of 
set with bloom buds. $1.;>0 each, $18 per doz. colors, but not marked. Nice bushy plants, all with bloom buds,

NEW LILAC, MARIE LEG RATE 
New Lilacs on Their Own Roots 
Of late years there has been a multitude of new varieties of Lilacs 
grown, and some of them have very great beauty, but unfortunately 
almost all the stock offered, both in this country and Europe, has been 
budded on privet and is practically worthless, for Lilacs grown on this 
are certain to die in a few years. Nurserymen bud Lilacs on privet 
because they can produce a large stock quickly and inexpensively, but 
one lilac on its own roots is worth a score of budded plants. 
We have arranged with a leading English nursery to supply the 
varieties described, which are of the best, in good, strong plants on their 
own roots. For prices of Budded Lilacs, see our general list of Shrubs. 
We secured all the available stock of those Lilacs in Europe and 
have only a limited supply to offer. 
Price, except where noted, $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
