AZALEA INDICA-Continued, 
If plants are requireKl for winter blooming in conservatory, they should be lifted anti repotted before very cold 
weather and kept in a cool greenhouse. By judiciously selecting the varieties, a continuous supply of flowers may t>e had from 
January until May. 
Azaleas are liable to attacks of red spider and thrips, especially if plants are allowed to suffer from want of proper watering 
Daily syringing of plants kept under glass will aid in eradicating these pests. 
Potting soil should be composed of half j>eat and half leaf-mold and good loam; abundant drainage must be given. 
The engraving on previous page, from photograph taken at Fruitland, well shows the superb proportions to which Indian 
Azaleas may be grown in this latitude. It will be noted, too, that they cover themselves with flowers in the same prodigal fashion 
set by the diminutive bushes \*itli which our more northern customers are familiar. 
A well-fed, tended and 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 myriads more of flowers. We believe that by follow¬ 
ing the hints given above, any of our southern customers may own specimens as fine as those illustrated. 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.
