AZALEA INDICA 
The Indica group, which are fast growers with masses 
of large flowers, are especially adapted for landscape 
planting all along the Gulf Coast up to the Atlantic 
seaboard of North Carolina. Around Mobile, Charles- 
ton, and some other sections, there are plants seventy 
to one hundred years old, with spread from 20 to 30 feet 
across, apparently without any special care, showing 
they are perfectly at home and easy to grow. Nursery- 
men in this entire section have a golden opportunity 
to give most lasting satisfaction to their customers, and 
incidentally enrich themselves, by planting extensive 
collections of these showy plants im their nurseries, 
because Azaleas will sell themselves when your 
customers see them in full bloom. We are listing the 
most important varieties, eliminating weaker growers 
or inferior flowers when the same color can be had in 
better varieties. 
BRILLIANT. A good grower with small, dark green 
leaves. Deep watermelon color, being mtermediate be- 
tween Pride of Mobile and Pride of Dorking. Very 
good variety. 
COCCINEA MAJOR. Brilliant orange-red. A little taller 
grower than Prince of Orange. 
CRITERION. Compact grower with flowers the color of 
strawberry ice-cream, streaked with deeper pink and 
margin of white. Late bloomer and very attractive. 
CROEMINA. Fast grower. Light pink flowers of large 
size early in season.

a profusion of beautiful salmon-pink flowers. One of 
the best varieties for pot-culture. Sizes to 10 to 12 inches.
