TAMARIX hispida aestivalis rubra. 
Summer Glow. A lovely new bright wine- 
red form of the popular summer-flowering 
zEstivalis that arrests immediate attention, 
the handsome flowers contrasting well with 
the graceful gray-green foliage. This 
new variety has all the desirable qualities 
of its parent, including great profusion of 
bloom at a time when there is a dearth of 
color in the shrubbery border. This sort, 
like other varieties of Tamarix, is well 
adapted to planting at the seashore, being 
tolerant of salt air and winds. Flowers and 
foliage are excellent for cut-flower work.

BROAD-LEAVED AND EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
Hardy Evergreen Azaleas 
Important Asiatic Azaleas which carry their pleasing foliage 
through our winters in this section and then in spring burst forth 
with surprising masses of gorgeous bloom. 
They are hardy but appreciate sheltered positions where they can 
escape the worst of winter winds. Provide them with the proper 
acid soil and a few plants will turn a dull border or foundation 
planting into real beauty-spots. The fall color of their foliage is es¬ 
pecially attractive. 
Azalea amoena. 4 to 6 ft. A solid mass of 
double, brilliant rosy purple flowers in 
May. Foliage assumes a pleasing bronze 
tint in the fall and winter months.
