AZALEAS, Hardy Varieties 
These plants, combining as they do the advantages of both evergreens 
and flowering shrubs, have deservedly won their way to the forefront 
of popularity. Once established they remain for years, often for 
generations, becoming more beautiful, increasing in value, and as¬ 
suming a more distinct character, with each passing season. They 
should be planted in full sun in a soil that has been mixed freely 
with peat or leaf mold. The faded flowers should be removed at 
once. Water frequently in dry season. All are perfectly hardy, ex¬ 
cept Amoena, Hinodegiri and Kaempferi, which need some winter 
protection. All Azaleas furnished balled and burlapped. 
Amoena (Japanese Evergreen). 3 ft. A dwarf shrub with double laven¬ 
der-purple flowers in May. Especially adapted for the front of bor¬ 
ders and rock gardens. 10 to 12 in., $1.50; 12 to 15 in., $1.90. 
Calendulacea (American). 5 ft. One of the most beautiful of our native 
Azaleas. It is hardly surpassed in the brilliancy and abundance of 
flowers by any of the Ghent Hybrids. Flowers flame-red to orange, 
often 2 inches across. Foliage remains in excellent condition until

Canescens roseum. 5 ft. Clear soft pink flowers. Its spicy odor makes

Kaempferi (Torch Azalea). 3 ft. One of the most popular, hardiest, and
