We have upwards of one hundred varieties in our collection. The colors include pure white, all shades of 
crimson, scarlet, purplish, salmon, and with exquisite variegations, mottlings, stripes, blotches, etc. Single 
and double flowers. We grow Azaleas in very large quantities, and annually add all the new European varieties. 
All our plants are grown in open ground during summer, and lifted in October, w’hen they are in the most 
healthy condition. Plant 
in March if intended for 
open ground. 
Those who grow Aza¬ 
leas in the house should 
remember that the flow¬ 
ers will last much longer 
if the plants are kept in 
a cool room after they 
have expanded. 
These beautiful 
shrubs are perfectly 
hardy in this latitude, 
but succeed best in a 
somewhat shady situa¬ 
tion and in a light soil 
containing an abundance 
of leaf-mold. They are 
of the greatest value for 
all purposes, either for 
massingor as single spec¬ 
imens in open ground, 
or for the decoration of 
conservatories or rooms. 
If the plants are 
grown in pots, they 
should be repotted after 
flowering and before the 
new growth begins. 
Keep the plants shel¬ 
tered for a few days, 
and then plunge the pots 
in open ground in a shady 
situation, or they may be 
planted in an open border 
and kept shaded. 
If pi ant 8 are re¬ 
quired for winter bloom- 
ing in conservatory, 
they should be lifted 
and repotted before very
