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 dis¬ 
seminated 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 ofT by a back¬ 
ground of dark foliage. Azaleas can be successfully grown almost anywhere, 
following same instructions given for Rhododendrons. The complete 
hardiness of all the species we offer is unquestionable. No American 
shrubs equal the native Azaleas, particularly Azalea lulea, for woodland 
and hillside plantings. 
Our cold Carolina mountains have added no more beautiful plants to 
gardens than these American Azaleas, not even excepting the magnificent 
broad-leaved evergreen Rhododendrons of world-wide fame. 
Azalea arborescens. Fragrant White Azalea. 5 to 15 ft. In June the 
delightfully spicy fragrant white flowers, with pink stamens, appear 
in profusion, lasting for weeks. Becomes n spreading clump 3 to 6 
feet broad in cultivation; easy culture. The foliage of this variety 
often colors striking shades of red in late autumn, and is the best 
of all the genus. The clumps offered have from twenty-five to one 
hundred stems and are heavily budded with enormous balls.

lutea (calondulacoa). Great Flame Azalea. 0 to 15 ft. The most 
regal of all the species, native or exotic, and a noble representative 
of our rich Carolina mountain flora. Bertram, 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 ns being expressive 
of the appearance of its flowers, which are in general of the color of 
tho finest red lead, orange, and bright gold as well ns yellow and 
cream-color. This is certainly the most gay and brilliant-flowering 
shrub yet known.” No more striking landscape effect can be pro¬ 
duced than a hillside of Azalea lutea in full bloom. Nearly all quoted 
above 18 inches are budded. These Azalea lutea arc splendid clumps, 
with a mass of buds, and range in color from light sulphur-yellow 
to deep red. Where tho colors are picked, a special charge 
will bo made. Each 10 100

of all the native species, and the more conspicuous, as its white, pink, 
or deep rose-colored flowers appear in early April or May before tho 
foliage. Of erect, slender habit, naturally, in cultivation, it becomes 
more spreading, while retaining the charming light stem-growth. 
Autumn usually turns the leaves a deep dark crimson, greatly en¬ 
hancing its beauty and value. Each 10 100
