In tea (calcndulacca ), Flame Azalea. G to 15 ft. 
The most regal of all the species, native or 
exotic, and a noble representative of our rich 
Carolina mountain flora. Barlram, speaking 
of it in his “Travels,” calls it the “fiery Azalea,”

most celebrated species of Azalea as being 
expressive of the appearance of its flowers, 
which arc in general of the cplor of the finest 
red lead, orange, and bright gold as well as 
yellow and cream color. This is certainly the 
most gay and brilliant-flowering shrub yet 
known.” No more striking landscape effect 
can be produced than a hillside of A. lutca in 
full bloom. Nearly all quoted above 18 in. are 
budded. These A. lutca arc splendid clumps 
with a mass of buds, and range in color from
