zaleas 
so are its cousins, the Azaleas, the aristocrats of the Deciduous 
Shrubs. In color, the Azaleas give an assortment of hues in 
much wider range than in the Rhododendrons—and flowering 
periods from mid-April to early July. While classed as acid soil 
plants they thrive in soils of considerable range, particularly the 
Asiatic sorts, which even prefer some lime in the soil. The oppor- 
tunities for using deciduous Azaleas are almost unlimited. Their 
graceful habit appears to good advantage in informal plantings 
either in wooded areas or in shrub borders, while many are most 
decorative used in the foundation planting where evergreens create 
a dark background for their vivid colors. They succeed equally well 
in sun or shade, preferring a moderately moist soil or a mulch of 
leaf mold. 
y UST as the Rhododendron is the king of the Evergreen Shrubs, 
CULTURE. Plant in full sun, in the South in light shade, in soil 
freely mixed with leaf mold and peat in about equal proportions. A 
yearly top dressing of well-rotted stable manure or one pound of 
Wayside Gardens Plant Food scattered around each plant in the fall 
will help to produce abundant blooms. Remove faded flowers at once, 
do not let plants go to seed; never cultivate. Water freely in dry 
weather. All the varieties offered here are quite tolerant of lime and 
do well on alkaline soils. 
**Kaempferi Hybrids 
18-24 in. high, Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
(Torch Azalea.) One of the most popular, hardiest and most satis- 
factory of all; a vigorous grower, never failing to produce its orange-red 
flowers in May; excellent as a point of emphasis in the mixed shrubbery 
border. 
Mollis Hybrids 1°28 i”- high, Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
OMS ETYPFICS 18-24 in. high, Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Without exception one of the most satisfactory of all. The color range 
is through innumerable shades of orange, flame, yellow, and salmon- 
orange of the most brilliant hues. Like all other Azaleas, it is quite 
tolerant of lime, and does well most anywhere. It is very hardy, ten 
degrees blow zero does not affect the flower buds. A group of these 
in bloom in the foreground of the shrub border is a delightful sight. 
Average height of old plants about 3 to 5 feet. 


Azalea Pontica—Hardy Ghent Azaleas 
Louisa Hunnewell 15-18 in., Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Derived from a cross between Azalea Mollis and Azalea Japonica, this 
new variety is hardier than either parent and is more beautiful and 
floriferous. The huge clusters of buff-yellow flowers shading to salmon 
some tel cover the plants while they are in bloom. One of the 
showiest. 
NM \ { 15-18 in. high, Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
ucronulata | 18.24 in. high, Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
One of the very first Azaleas to flower, opening rosy lavender flowers 
the same time as Forsythia, thus lengthening by several weeks the 
blooming period of the Azaleas. It will succeed in dry locations and it 
likes some lime. Can be grown quite successfully in slightly alkaline 
soils. Planted in front of a Forsythia, it makes a handsome combination. 
en ue in. high, Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
ontica Fiybrids’) 18.24 in. high, Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
These are also called the Hardy Ghent Azaleas; they have always been 
popular. The orange, pink, copper, salmon and yellow shades of their 
blooms you must see to appreciate their wonderful beauty. The lus- 
trous leaves when young are covered with silky hair, and in autumn turn 
to dull red and brown. 
Schlippenbachi 15-18 in. high, Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
(Royal Azalea.) A vigorous plant 3 to 5 feet high, with very large, 
Snowy flowers of pale rose-pink, the upper petals lightly spotted with 
rown. 

New Buddleias 
Butterfly shrubs bloom abundantly the same year you plant them. Are easy to grow and require no care. 
Blue Buddleia, Fortune (Plant Patent No. 206) 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
In Buddleia Fortune we believe we come very close to perfection. The 
bush or shrub is of very neat habit, about 4 feet high and 4 feet across. 
The foliage of Buddleia Fortune is a deep, leathery dark green. The 
color is pure lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower, thou- 
sands of which make up the sprays which are from 12 to 18 inches 
long. The flowers are produced in super-abundance throughout the 
entire summer and autumn until stopped by frost. The flower sprays, 
instead of being flat on one side as in the old varieties, are fully 
round and in bloom from base to tip practically at the same time. 
To see one of these plants in bloom is a sight worth while. The flowers 
may be cut with stem 2 to 3 feet long and last in water for several 
days. Buddleia Fortune is a grand cut flower as well as a showy plant 
for the flower garden. 
Buddleia, Charming Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
A fine shrub bearing throughout the late summer and autumn lovely 
layender-pink blooms. For September and October flowers we suggest 
pinching off the first flower spikes which develop in July to aid in the 
development of side branches which will bring a greater abundance of 
flowers during the autumn months. 
‘Buddleia, Dubonnet Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
A glorious color—a counterpart of the popular French wine Dubonnet 
and a shade now very popular in dress fabrics. Glows a true red in 
sunshine and under artificial light. Firm, cylindrical spikes closely set 
with lovely blooms. Of erect growth, strong stemmed, with large leathery 
foliage, and a good late summer cut flower. 
{171} 
Flaming Violet (Patent Applied For) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $20.00 
This is without doubt the finest and most brilliant of the Buddleias. 
In sunlight in the garden, the immense spikes are truly a flaming 
violet, doge-purple, or imperial purple, intensely brilliant and spark- 
ling with a fiery glow rarely seen in flowers. Under artificial light 
as a cut flower it is supreme, far surpassing in beauty anything yet 
produced. The flower trusses are unusually large, completely 
rounded, measuring 12 to 18 inches long. The individual flowers 
are spaced closely and open practically all at the same time. They 
last a long time in bloom on the shrubs as well as when cut and 
placed in water. The plant is vigorous, strong and upright in growth. 
Flaming Violet Buddleia flowers throughout the summer and autumn. 
It is a spectacular plant of great beauty. There are not many avail- 
able of this 1942 novelty for this year. Therefore, order promptly. 
We send vigorous young plants in pots which will flower profusely 
for you this summer. 
Fascinating Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
A beautiful new Buddleia bearing immense blooms of soft cattleya 
pink or orchid. This handsome strong-growing shrub flowers pro- 
fusely throughout the summer and autumn, and its huge round 
trusses of flowers, 14 to 18 inches long, make it a conspicuous 
subject. The more the flowers-are cut, the more new ones grow. 
Like other Buddelias this new variety attracts a great many butter- 
flies, adding to its charm in the garden. Not many plants of this 
1942 novelty are available for this year and it cannot be purchased 
elsewhere. We, therefore, urge you to send your order promptly. 
We offer fine young plants in pots which will flower profusely for 
you this summer.
