AZALEA, continued 
The beautiful colored photograph on the third 
cover page of this catalogue shows one of the many 
superb specimens of Indian Azaleas growing at Fruit- 
land. 
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 myriads 
more of flowers. We believe that, by following the 
hints given above, any of our southern customers may 
own specimens as fine as that 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. 
Berberis. Mahonia 
Berberis Japonica ( Mahonia Japonica\ Japanese Bar¬ 
berry). This splendid plant thrives in almost any

broad with five pairs of leaflets; flowers yellow, in 
long spikes, during the first three months of the year, 
followed by dark purple berries. A magnificent
