HARDY AMERICAN 
AZALEAS 
The American Azaleas are among the choicest of 
all ornamentals, whether exotic or native, and were 
but rarely seen in cultivation before being dissem¬ 
inated by Highlands Nursery. 
They are seen at their best when planted in large 
masses and in properly prepared beds, and they 
richly repay any unusual care given them. Like 
most ericaceous plants, they love deep, moist, well- 
drained soil, and these showy native species are 
particularly adapted to planting in shrub borders 
and with Rhododendrons, their brilliant blossoms 
being set off by a background of dark foliage. 
Azaleas can be successfully grown almost anywhere, following same instructions given lor Rhodo¬ 
dendrons. The complete hardiness of all the species we offer is unquestionable. No American 
shrubs equal the native Azaleas, particularly A. lutca, for woodland and hillside plantings. 
Our cold Carolina mountains have added no more beautiful plants to gardens than these Ameri¬ 
can Azaleas, not even excepting the magnificent broad-leaved evergreen Rhododendrons of world-

AZALEA LUTEA (CALENDULACEA). Great

of all the species, native or exotic, and a 
noble representative of our rich Carolina 
mountain flora. Bartram, speaking of it in 
his “Travels.” calls it the “fiery Azalea.” 
and says: "This epithet fiery I annex to this 
most celebrated species of Azalea as being 
Azalea lutea, continued 
expressive of the appearance of its flowers, 
which are in general of the color of the finest 
red lead, orange, and bright gold as well as 
yellow and cream-color. This is certainly 
the most gav and brilliant-flowering shrub 
yet known. ,r No more striking landscape

lutca in full bloom. Nearly all quoted above
