leaved evergreen Rhododendrons of world-wide fame.

A. arborescens rosea. A beautiful and rare form, with bright pink fra¬ 
grant flowers. Introduced by Highlands Nursery. Stock limited and orders 
filled in rotation only. Small plants, S4 each. 
A. llltea ( calendulcicea ). Great Flame Azalea. The most regal of all the 
species, native or exotic, and a noble representative of our rich Carolina 
Mountain flora. Bartram, speaking of it in his "Travels,” calls it the " fiery 
Azalea,” and says: "This epithet fiery I annex to this most celebrated 
species of Azalea as being expressive of the appearance of its flowers, which 
are in general of the color of the finest red lead, orange and bright gold as 
well as yellow and cream-color. This is certainly the most gay and brilliant 
flowering shrub yet known.”
