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 Rhodo- 
dendrons 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 eyergreens 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. 
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 in alkaline soils. 
Mollis Hybrids—AII Colors Mixed 
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. Unlike all other Azaleas, it is quite 
tolerant of lime, and does well most anywhere. It is very hardy, ten 
degrees below 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.

Kaempferi Hybrids (Torch Azalea) 
One of the most popular and most colorful. They are vigorous growers, » 
never failing to produce masses of pink, rose, flame and copper-orange- 
tinted flowers in May; excellent as a point of emphasis in the mixed 
shrubbery border and beautiful as a background for Tulips as they bloom 
at the same time.

Schlippenbachi (Royal Azalea) 
A vigorous plant 3 to 5 feet high, with very large, showy flowers of pale | 
rose-pink, the upper petals lightly spotted with brown. This is one of 
the earliest Azaleas to flower and produces big, Rhododendron-like 
flowers. Does very well in quite deep shade.

Pontica, “Golden Yellow” 
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 
shrub border. Particularly beautiful in combination with spring bulbs.

Poukhanensis 
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. 
12-15 in. high Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00
