Hardy Chinese Azalea Mollis 
The Azaleas are one of the most beautiful and popular families of hardy flowering 
shrubs in cultivation, and the Chinese Mollis is perhaps the most satisfactory 
and most easily grown of all. Their great charm is in their wonderful array of 
color, they vary from light yellow to salmon and dark orange, scarcely two plants 
exactly alike in color. For best effect we suggest planting in groups as the yellow, 
orange and salmon blend beautifully together. They are perfectly hardy thriving 
under ordinary garden conditions but do best in a protected location where they 
will be in partial shade. For best success, prepare the soil to the depth of 15 to 18 
inches, using 50 per cent of well rotted leaf-mold from the woods or decayed peat 
from a swamp or both. Be careful that there is no lime in the soil. Water freely. 
The plants we offer are strong healthy plants that will give you lovely flowers the 
following spring.
