AZALEA INDICA 
The Indicas, which are fast growers with masses of 
large flowers, are especially adapted for landscape plant- 
ing all along the Gulf Coast up the Atlantic seaboard 
to North Carolina. Around Mobile, Charleston, and 
some other sections, there are plants seventy to one 
hundred years old, with a 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 wonderful opportunity 
to give lasting satisfaction to their customers, and 
incidentally enrich themselves, by planting extensive 
collections of these showy plants in their nurseries, 
because Azaleas will sell themselves when your custo- 
mers 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 intermediate 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.

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