zaleas 
Just as the Rhododendron is the king of the Evergreen Shrubs, 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 opportunities 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.

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.

Not unlike the Azalea Mollis in habit or appearance but faster and 
stronger growing, forming perhaps a more compact and bigger plant. 
Another outstanding feature is the leaves which in autumn turn to rich- 
est shades of coppery red and fiery browns, creating an effect as color- 
ful as in the spring when the hundreds of golden yellow flowers trans- 
form the plant into a mound of golden yellow. Pontica Azaleas are 
often called Hardy Ghent Azaleas. You'll enjoy some of them in the 
eyub border. They are particularly beautiful in combination with spring 
ulbs.

A compact low-growing Azalea which in late May produces such a pro- 
fusion of fragrant Orchid-lavender flowers. The plant is entirely hidden 
by its blossoms. It is easily one of the best hardy- Azaleas for form as 
well as color and combines brilliantly with the golden yellow Pontica.
