Azalea Mollis 
Rhododendron Catawbiense 
Broadleaf Evergreen and Acid-Loving Shrubs grow to better advantage 
in an acid soil. This condition can be induced by the application of alum¬ 
inum sulphate or ammonium sulphate. However, for best results use Sodus 
Acid Humus, which is a natural acid-inducing compound giving better 
results. (See page 13 for price and description of this material.) 
A 7 Al C A kA I I IQ In our opinion the best Azalea suitable for 
I-E/’V fYlvLtalJ Northern States. Dwarf, bushy, well- 
branched, makes an ideal foundation planting. Flowers are large, about 
21/2 in. diameter, appearing in bunches at the ends of the shoots. The 
variable orange-tan, yellow and red blooms will make your garden a 
veritable kaleidoscope of color in May. Grows about 2 feet high, and is 
at its best in partial shade. Hardy in the North, but a little mulch in the 
fall will induce more profuse blooming the following season. Assort¬ 
ed colors. Sturdy, 12- to 15-in. bushes, balled in peat and burlapped, 
$1.00 each, 3 for $2.75. 
THREE SPLENDID HARDY AZALEAS 
We offer three choice varieties resembling Mollis in growth and 
bloom, that we heartily recommend for both color and hardiness. 
Flowers in flaming shades of red, yellow, and orange, in 
rsame large clusters. Sturdy and hardy. 
Ttf\rtf'll A tall-growing variety, producing torchlike clusters of 
I OsCn vivid orange-red to salmon-pink flowers. Hardy in any 
latitude. 
Rffevnl The splendid Korean variety. Masses of rosy pink flowers 
IxOyOl flecked with brown. Sturdy and hardy. 
Strong, 9 to 12 inch, blooming size, your choice of above three, 
only 75c each, or 3 for $2.CO. 
NOTE: Azaleas should be planted in partial shade and in a semi-acid 
soil. This acidity may be secured by working Sodus Acid Humus or Peat 
Moss in around the roots when planting. All Azaleas shipped by us will 
have sufficient peat moss around the roots of each plant to insure a good 
growth, if care is taken to work in well around roots when planting. 
DAPHNE 
CNEORUM 
(Garland Flower). A tiny 
dwarf shrub,' almost ever¬ 
green, with spreading branch¬ 
es on which the narrow, inch- 
long leaves are crowded; pro¬ 
ducing beautiful trails of blue- 
green foliage. Each branch 
and stem is tipped with dense 
clusters of soft, fragrant, rose- 
pink flowers which appear 
profusely during April and 
May, and at intervals through¬ 
out the summer. A fine rock- 
garden plant, or can be used 
advantageously among ever¬ 
greens. Hardy, but should be 
given a sunny location if pos¬ 
sible. Balled in peat 
and burlapped, only 
85c each, 3 for $2.40. 
Mountain Laurel 
FIRETHORN 
(Pyracantha Coccinea 
Lalandi). Most attrac¬ 
tive of all the fruiting 
evergreen shrubs. Has 
an upright, compact 
habit of growth with 
bright green foliage 
lasting the year round. 
Large trusses of white flowers in the summer, followed by bril¬ 
liant orange-scarlet berries remaining all winter. Hardy. Strong, 
18- to 24-in. B&B, 80c each, 2 for $1.50. 
RHODODENDRON CATAWBIENSE 
The finest of all Rhododendrons. Perfectly hardy. In June every 
branch has a huge cluster of deep lavender-pink blooms, 4 to 6 
inches across. The leathery, evergreen leaves provide a rich 
background of dark green amongst the dazzling colors of summer, 
and lend a bit of color to the drab landscape of winter. Can be 
grown successfully in dense shade, as well as sunny spots. Well 
rooted, field-grown stock, 10 to 12 in., only 50c each, 3 for $1.25. 
RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM 
We do not list this variety, because it is a native of the South, 
and not hardy in the North, where planting results are disap¬ 
pointing and unsatisfactory.
