Cash and carry prices at our nursery will be 50c 
and ^1.00 less, depending on size and variety. Extra 
packing required for shipping Azaleas makes this 
saving possible. 
Azaleas are among the most beautiful shrubs which 
we can have in our gardens, but they have not been 
used nearly as much as they deserve. It may be that 
some have erroneously believed them difficult to grow. 
They like a peaty soil and a half shaded place. While 
they will tolerate no lime in the soil, they are not 
bothered by insects or diseases nor do they require 
any extra care beyond a good watering at their flower- 
ing period. 
Azaleas are slow growing, but they live a long time. 
Their flowers are large and showy and often cover the 
whole plant with their brilliancy. Some varieties bloom 
in April and others continue through the season to July. 
They are expensive to produce as it takes many years, 
besides great skill and care to handle them in an infan¬ 
tile stage, for they are as tiny and delicate as young 
orchids. Don’t forget that Azalea flowers match the 
orchid’s too in fragile beauty if not always in size. 
ARBORESCENS (Sweet Azalea). 8-12 ft. In June 
and July after other Azaleas have practically finished 
blooming, the Sweet Azalea still has a profusion of 
flowers. They are white, pink-tinged, with pink 
stamens and spicily fragrant. In autumn foliage often 
colors a brilliant red. 15-18 in., ^2.00; 18-24 in., 
^3.00 each. 
CALENDULACEA (Flame Azalea). 8 ft. Orange- 
yellow to flame-red flowers in May and June. One 
of the most beautiful in brilliance and abundance of 
bloom. 12-15 in., ^1.75; 15-18 in., ^2.00; 18-24 in., 
^3.00 each. 
CANESCENS (Piedmont Azalea). 8 ft. Deep pink, 
fragrant flowers which open with the young leaves

18-24 in., $3.00 each. 
KAEMPFERI (Torch Azalea). 8 ft. In May these

MUCRONULATUM (Mongolian Azalea). 5 ft. Just

purple flowers of this Azalea appear. Their colors

orchid-colored flowers, large and single, appear early.
