dark, glossy leaves. Produces a profusion of scarlet 
berries, which make a fine contrast with the rich 
green foliage. Should be more extensively planted.

form of the above, with leaves beautifully spotted 
with yellow. Largely used for jardinidres and win¬ 
dow-boxes; also for planting in masses.

A. Hinodegiri. A magnificent, hardy, Japanese 
variety; decided improvement 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 produced in enormous quantities. 
In fact, when in full bloom, the plant is almost a 
solid mass of color. Remains in bloom for a long 
period. In the winter and fall months the foliage 
assumes a reddish appearance. This variety is hardy 
North.

We have over fifty varieties in our collection, and 
have 10,000 salable plants in stock. The colors 
include pure white, all shades of crimson, scarlet, pur¬ 
ple, salmon, and with exquisite variegations, mottlings, 
stripes, blotches, etc. Single and double flowers. 
We grow Azaleas in very large quantities, and annually 
add many of the new European varieties. All our 
plants are grown in open ground during summer and 
lifted in October, when they are thoroughly matured. 
In this latitude it is best to plant Azaleas in open 
ground in March, but southward they can be safely 
planted from October until April. 
These beautiful shrubs are perfectly hardy in this 
latitude, but give the best results when planted in a 
somewhat shady situation, especially where they are 
protected from the hot afternoon sun of summer. 
The best soil is one containing an abundance of leaf- 
mold and some peat if possible. The plants should be 
kept well mulched with rotted leaves. Azaleas are 
always desirable, either for massing or as single speci¬ 
mens in the open ground, or for the decoration of con¬ 
servatories or houses. 
If the plants are grown in pots, they should be re¬ 
potted after flowering and before the new growth begins. 
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 and kept 
shaded. 
If plants are required for winter blooming in the con¬ 
servatory, 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. 
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. 
Potting soil should be composed of half peat, half- 
leaf-mold and good loam; abundant drainage must be 
given.
