All types of Azaleas are easily grown if a 
few rules are followed. They require a good, 
well-drained soil that has a slight acid re- 
action. The addition of Ieaf-mold, peat, and, 
in very heavy, stiff soil, a small quantity of 
sand, is always beneficial. Leaf-mold and 
peat help maintain an acid soil and a mulch 

INDICA AZALEAS 
Indica Azaleas, which are fast growers with 
masses of Jarge flowers, are especially adapted 
for landscape planting along the Gulf Coast 
and up the Atlantic seaboard to North Caro- 
Ima. Most varieties are quite tall, with masses 
of large, single or double flowers. The colors 
are very showy in early spring and make an 
unforgettable impression on all beholders. 
Brilliant. A good grower with small, dark 
green leaves. Deep watermelon color. 
Very fine. 
Fielder’s White. Large, pure white flowers 
early in the season. A strong plant, free 
blooming, and one of the best whites. 
Formosa. Very fast grower with large dark 
leaves and big purplish pink flowers. 
Pride of Mobile. Blossoms large, light pink. 
A hardy and vigorous variety featured m 
the famous gardens of Mobile, Ala. Pro-

with pale-colored Jeaves. White and Javen- 
der variegated and light lavender flowers

AZALEA INDICA 
of Jeaves is good to retain moisture and to 
furnish plant-food for the next year. 
Partial shade is desirable in planting, but 
dense shade should be avoided. Azaleas 
should be fertilized sparingly; a light applica- 
tion of cottonseed meal about three times a 
year is one of the best treatments. 
KURUME AZALEAS 
Though of rather slow growth, Kurume 
Azaleas make good-sized specimens, and their 
compact form makes them the equal of other 
evergreen shrubs even when not in flower. 
Very small plants will bloom, and each season 
as they increase in size they increase in 
beauty. 
Kurumes will stand the winters of almost 
all sections of the Southern States without 
any protection, and much farther north with 
a little protection. Their popularity is in- 
creasing rapidly as they become better 
known, especially m the cooler sections of the 
country where the more tender Indicas are in- 
jured by cold. Used singly, or in groups by 
themselves, or in combination with Indicas, 
they give a most pleasing landscape effect and 
a range of color that could not otherwise be 
obtained. 
Bridesmaid. Big salmon-pink flowers borne 
in large clusters. Very good grower. 
Coral Bells. Compact plant with small, 
round, glossy leaves. The dainty, bell- 
shaped, pink flowers are not large but it is 
a very profuse bloomer and one of the most 
popular varieties with florists. 
Hinodegiri. Slow, compact grower, but the 
fiery red flowers cover the entire plant, 
even when it is very small, making it one of 
the most desirable pot plants. 
Mauve Beauty. Flowers of a delicate mauve 
shade, covering the plant. Compact, 
dwarf. 
Snow. Good-sized, hose-in-hose flowers of 
purest white among beautitul glossy leaves. 
Liked by all.

CAMELLIA SASANQUA 
One of the newer and finest of all the broad- 
Jeaved evergreens. Similar to Camellia ja- 
ponica, but Jooser and faster growing. Very 
profuse bloomers, with flowers commencing 
to open the latter part of September and con- 
tinuing on through November—a time when 
very few flowers can be had. 
Sasanquas are very hardy and can be 
grown without protection in the latitude of 
Memphis, Tenn., Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, 
Ga., Charlotte, N. C., and even much farther 
north along the Atlantic seaboard. They 
are extremely satisfactory in landscape work, 
as individual specimens, in foundation plant- 
ings, and for hedges, and their popularity is 
only just beginning. 
CLEOPATRA. Large, beautiful cherry-red 
flowers, often double, and having crinkled 
petals. Foliage thick, dark and glossy. A 
vigorous and compact grower. 
DAWN. Very hardy, symmetrical, slow- 
growing. Single to semi-double, ivory- 
white with flesh-pink at margin of petals; 
yellow stamens. 
MINE-NO-YUKI (Snow on the Moun- 
tain). The large, double, white flowers re- 
semble a carnation and are borne in such 
profusion as to literally cover the entire 
plant. When young, it is a loose, open 
grower, but as it gets older it develops into 
a symmetrically round and compact speci- 
men. 
RUFFLED BLUSH. Here is a real beauty. 
Soft blush-pink in color. Compact and 
bushy. 
SETSUGEKKA. A new variety of great 
beauty and merit. The large, semi-double 
flowers are pure white, with just a touch of 
pink at the ends of the slightly ruffled 
petals, The plant is erect and compact in 
habit, with dark, handsome foliage. Very 
valuable. Each 5 
12 to 18-in. plants........... $1 25 $5 75
