-A.UCU.bcl. Gold Dust Tree. 
This beautiful plant is not sufficiently appreciated. 
When in the open ground it gives the best results when 
planted in a shaded situation, in a somewhat moist, 
though rich, well-drained soil. This genus contains both 
male and female plants. If the latter are planted near 
the male plants they will produce a profusion of red 
berries which makes them very attractive. Aucubas are 
especially desirable for city gardens when same are 
exjjosed to smoke. These plants are also largely used 
for vases, urns and window boxes. Hardy at Washing¬

These beautiful shrubs are perfectly hardy in the 
open in this latitude. Some varieties of the Indian 
Azaleas are hardy in the mountain sections also, but to 
get the best results. Azaleas should be planted in a 
somewhat shaded situation, especially where they are 
protected from the hot, afternoon sun of summer. 
The best soil is one containing an abundance of baf 
mold, peat and sand, but soil should be well drained. 
Azaleas will not succeed in limestone soil. The plants 
must be kept well mulched with rotted leaves, preferably 
leaves of hardwood trees. When planted in masses of 
solid, well-contrasting colors, the effect is most pleas¬ 
ing. 
If the plants are grown in pots, they should be re¬ 
potted after flowering and before the new growth be¬ 
gins. Keep the plants sheltered for a few days, and 
then plunge the pots in the open ground in a shady 
situation, or they may be planted in an open border

large, dark, glossy leaves. Produces a profusion of

A. Hinodegiri (Home-Grown.) A magnificent, hardy, 
early-blooming Japanese Azalea; decided improve¬ 
ment upon A. amoena, which it somewhat resembles 
in habit of growth, but is a more vigorous grower and 
foliage is heavier. Bright carmine flowers are pro¬ 
duced in enormous quantities. In fact, when in full 
bloom the plant is almost a solid mass of color. Re¬ 
mains in bloom for a long period. In the winter and 
fall months the foliage assumes a reddish appearance. 
This variety is hardy in New York.

and kept shaded. 
If the plants are required for winter blooming in the 
conservatory, they should be lifted and repotted before 
very cold weather and kept in a cool greenhouse. By 
judiciously selecting the varieties, a continuous supply 
of flowers may be had from January until May. 
We offer several thousand Home-grown Indian Azaleas 
in about 50 varieties of the sizes as described above. 
In the varieties with single flowers we offer all shades 
of crimson, scarlet, purple, salmon, white, and many 
exquisitely variegated, mottled and striped varieties. 
In the varieties with double flowers we can only supply 
two double whites. All our plants are grown in open 
ground during summer and lifted and potted in October 
when they are thoroughly matured. In this latitude 
it is best to plant Azaleas in open ground in March and 
April, but southward they can be safely planted from 
October until April. 
Azaleas are liable to attacks of red spider and thrips, 
especially if the plants suffer from want of proper 
watering. Daily syringing of plants kept under glass 
will aid in eradicating these pests, as also will a spray 
of sulpho-tobacco soap. 
A well-fed, well-tended and well-pruned Azalea need 
never grow scraggy and misshapen with age, but should 
become more beautiful every year as its increasing 
spread of branches gives room for the display of my¬ 
riads more of flowers. Those who grow Azaleas in 
the house should remember that the flowers will last 
much longer if the plants are kept in a cool room after 
they have expanded.
