AUGUSTA, GEORGIA 
This will make the plant dense and compact. For 
single specimens, for groups, or for a hedge we 
cannot too strongly recommend this plant. 
Hardy as far north as Philadelphia. Has also 
been successfully grown in sheltered positions in 
Massachusetts, and, even when partially killed 
back, the young shrubs flower profusely the same 
season.

Aucuba 
(Gold Dust Tree) 
This beautiful plant is not sufficiently appreciated. 
When' in the open ground it gives the best results 
when planted in a shaded situation, in a somewhat 
moist, though rich, well drained soil. This genus 
contains both male and female plants. If the latter 
are planted near the male plants they will produce 
a profusion of red berries which makes them very 
attractive. Aucubas are especially desirable for city 
gardens when same are exposed to smoke. These 
plants are also largely used for vases, urns and win¬ 
dow boxes. Hardy at Washington, D. C.

A. Hinodegiri (Home-Grown). A magnificent, hardy, 
early-blooming Japanese Azalea; decided improve¬ 
ment upon A. amoena, which it somewhat re¬ 
sembles in habit of growth, but is a more vigor¬ 
ous grower and foliage is heavier. Bright car¬ 
mine 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 in New York.

These beautiful shrubs are perfectly hardy in the 
open in this latitude. Some varieties of the Indian 
Azaleas are hardy in the mountain sections also, but 
to get the best results, Azaleas should be planted in 
a somewhat shaded situation, especially where they 
are protected from the hot, afternoon sun of summer. 
The best soil is one containing an abudance of 
leaf mold, peat and sand, but soil should be well 
drained. Azaleas will not succeed in limestone soil. 
The plants must be kept well mulched with rotted 
leaves, preferably leaves of hardwood trees. When 
planted in masses of solid, well-contrasting colors, 
the effect is most pleasing. 
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 aqd kept shaded. 
If the plants are required for winter blooming in 
the conservatory, they should be lifted and repotted 
before very cold weather and kept in a cool green¬ 
house. By judiciously selecting the varieties, a con¬ 
tinuous supply of flowers may be had from January 
until May. 
We offer several thousand Home-grown Indian 
Azaleas in about 50 varieties of the sizes as described 
above. In the varieties with single flowers we offer 
all shades of crimson, scarlet, purple, salmon, white, 
and many exquisitely variegated, mottled and striped 
varieties. In the varieties with double flowers we
