Azaleas 
Landscape effect with Azaleas in foreground 
Deciduous Azaleas 
These are among the finest of all 
the Azaleas, and while they shed their 
leaves in the winter-time, the plants, 
like deciduous trees, are attractive to 
plant-lovers just as well as the ever¬ 
green varieties. They require the same 
conditions as the other families. 
CALENDULACEA. Flame Azalea. A 
native of our Carolina mountains. Bears 
beautiful orange and bright gold flowers, as 
well as yellow and cream colors. At its 
best in May and June. 
MOLLIS. Chinese Azalea. Shades of yellow, 
terra-cotta, apricot, and golden salmon. 
Blooms in April and May. Does best in 
partial shade. 
Azalea obtusa Arnoldiana 
Hybrids of A. Kaempferi x A. 
amoena originated by the late Jackson 
Dawson of the Arnold Arboretum. 
They are hardy, bushy shrubs, ever¬ 
green south of Philadelphia and 
doing their best in full sunlight. 
BRIARCLIFF. Pink with deeper throat. 
DEXTER’S PINK. Rose-pink. 
EARLY DAWN. Pink. 
MOSERIANUM. Lavender. 
PRINCESS BACHANACHI. Red. 
Azalea indica 
The Indica varieties in the North are used only for forcing, being too tender 
to grow outside, but they are the glory of the gardens in the Lower South. The 
Magnolia Gardens and the Middleton Gardens in South Carolina are famed for 
their Indian Azaleas. These beautiful Azaleas are hybrids of A. indica formosa, 
A. mucronata, A. obtusa, and many others. In the South, where conditions suit 
them, they are long-lived plants. They require the same growing conditions, 
sour soil, etc., as the other types we have mentioned. 
CARDINALIS. A dark cardinal-red. 
DAPHNE SALMON. Salmon-pink flower. 
Midseason bloomer. Very hardy. 
FORMOSA. Its rose-purple flowers, freely 
produced early in the season, are the finest 
of this color. Strong plants with good fo¬ 
liage. 
HATSUSHIMO (77138). New. Hermosa- 
pink with darker blotch and white margin. 
HINOHAKAMA (77126). Bears rose-purple 
flo wers.

Florida from September to February.

with faint lavender stripes to self-colored 
pale lavender. The flowers may be of one
