HAVE AZALEAS IN JUNE WITH OUR MACRANTHA HYBRIDS 
HARDY BROAD-LEAVED AND FLOWERING EVERGREENS 
Hardy Evergreen Azaleas 
I MPORTANT 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

will turn a dull border or foundation planting into real 
beauty-spots. The fall color of their foliage is especially 
attractive.
