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 
1 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 per¬ 
centage of them being 
set with buds. Azalea 
mollis is of compara¬ 
tively dwarf, bush-like 
habit, with light green 
leaves, which are some¬ 
what larger than those 
of other Azaleas. 
The flowers are as 
large as the Indian 
Azaleas usually seen in 
greenhouses, being 2 % 
to 3 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, 
Bed of Hardy Azaleas. and when massed in a 
, , . ... , . , large bed they create a 
particularly beautiful spot on the lawn. 'Ihey 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 ulso valuable for mixing 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, $6.50 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 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 I have had 
specially grown for my 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. 
AZALEA arborescens (Native). Splendid foliage 
throughout the summer. Large white sweet-scented 
flowers; the latest Azalea to bloom; fine plants. 12 
to 18 inches . per 100, $60. .$0 75 
Calendutacea (Native). Great Flame - colored 
Azalea. Flowers vary from deep crimson to bright 
sulphur-yellow; very showy. Fine plants, 12 to 18 
inches ... per 100, $40.. 60 
Nudiflora (Native). This is the Azalea found so 
plentiful in the Pennsylvania mountains along the 
Allegheny river, and commonly known as the Wild 
Honeysuckle. Lovely pink flowers produced in the 
greatest profusion. One of the most desirable shrubs 
in cultivation. 75 
Vaseyl (Native). This lovely Azalea has attracted 
a great deal of attention lately, especially in 
England, where it is highly prized. The flowers ap¬ 
pear before the foliage in April in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion and vary from white to deep pink. This 
Azalea will in time grow to be 12 or 15 feet high ... 75

Chent. The following were imported from the best 
Azalea nurseries in Europe, and have since been 
grown in this country. They are exceptionally fine 
plants and well set with bloom buds. The Ghent 
varieties are the finest of all Azaleas and should be 
made a feature in every garden. They are extremely 
effective planted in masses, and especially suitable 
for planting Japanese and other lilies among. The 
flowers, sweet-scented, are produced in the greatest 
profusion and range in color from white to deep 
crimson through all shades of pink and yellow.
