If the plants are grown in pots, they should 
he 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 
he planted in an open border and kept shaded. 
If the plants are required for winter bloom¬ 
ing in the conservatory, 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. 
We offer several thousand Home-grown In¬ 
dian 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 can only 
supply two double whites. All our plants are 
grown in open ground during summer and lifted 
and potted in October when they are thoroughly 
matured. In this latitude it is best to plant 
Azaleas in open ground in March and April, but 
southward they can be safely planted from Octo¬ 
ber until April. 
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. 
A well-fed, well-tended and well-pruned Aza¬ 
lea 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. 
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.

CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS 
For Open Ground — To get the best results 
Camellias should be planted in a partially 
shaded situation, especially where protected 
from the cold winds of winter and the hot, after¬ 
noon sun of summer. Any good garden soil is 
suitable, but if mixed with leaf mold and well- 
rotted cow manure better results will be ob¬ 
tained. The plants should be kept thoroughly 
mulched with well-rotted leaves. In this sec¬ 
tion the best time to transplant Camellias is 
from early October until middle of November, 
and from middle of February to end of March. 
For Conservatories—Use a potting compost of 
peat or leaf-mold and good loam, and give ample 
drainage. When in growth, they require an
