Azalea 







Daphne 
Broadleaf Evergreen and Acid-Loving Shrubs grow to better ad- 
vantage in an acid soil. This condition can be induced by the appli- 
cation of aluminum sulphate or ammonium sulphate. However, for 
best results use Sodus Acid Humus, which is a natural acid-inducing 
compound giving better results. (See page 59 for price and description 
of this material.) 
AZALEA MOLLIS In our opinion the best Azalea suitable 
for northern states. Dwarf, bushy, well 
branched, makes an ideal foundation planting. Flowers are large, about 
212 inches in diameter, appearing in bunches at the ends of the shoots. 
The variable orange-tan yellow and red blossoms 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. As- 
sorted 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. 
FLAME Flowers in flaming shades of red, yellow and orange, in 
large clusters. Sturdy and hardy. 
TO RCH A tall growing variety, producing torchlike clusters of vivid 
orange-red to salmon-pink flowers. Hardy in any latitude. 
ROY AL The splendid Korean variety. Masses of rosy pink flowers 
flecked with brown. Sturdy and hardy. 
Strong, 9 to 12 in., blooming size, your choice of above three: 
Only 75c each; or 3 for $2.00. 
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. 
FIRETHORN (Pyracantha coccinea Lalandi). Most attractive of 
ali 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 in., 
B&B, 80c each; 2 for $1.50. 
G ARL AND FLOWER (Daphne cneorum). Tiny, dwarf shrub 
almost evergreen; produces beautiful 
trails of blue-green foliage. Each branch and stem is tipped with dense 
clusters of fragrant, rose-pink flowers, appearing profusely during April 
and May, and at intervals throughout the summer. Fine for rock gardens, 
or for planting among evergreens. Sturdy, 2-yr. plants, balled in earth 
or peat moss, only 55c each; 3 for $1.50. A bargain while they last. 
Supply limited. 
RHODODENDRON Catawbiense 2°, 8°", 6 22 
Perfectly hardy. In June every branch has a-huge cluster of deep laven- 
der-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 55c each; 3 for $1.35.
