The charm of flowering shrubs, ornamental shade trees, hedges, 
and rose bushes, tastefully arranged to create an effective foundation 
planting or a veritable living-room outdoors, is irresistible, and the 
prospect of planning a place outdoors that is attractive, livable and 
comfortable, where the whole family can find countless hours of 
enjoyment, is filled with expectant adventure. 
To enable you to make your home the envy of your neighborhood, 
to make every passer-by stop and look at it in admiration, we suggest 
you go over this entire book and select the plant material you can 
use. Many home-owners take pleasure in replacing overgrown, 
haphazard planting with fresh, youthful plant-life. It makes a work! 
of difference in appearance and costs so little.

HARDY AZALEAS 
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 assuming 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, except 
Amoena, Hinodegiri, and Kaempferi, which 
need some winter protection. All Azaleas 
jurnished balled and burlapped.
