INDICA AZALEAS 
We have specialized in this group of Azaleas and can offer one of 
the largest variety lists of this popular plant. Our stock is of excep- 
tional quality. Plants are all large-flowered, 3 to 3% inches across, 
some single but most of them double types in delicate but bright 
colors. Main period of bloom is from Christmas to Easter. The lively 
glossy foliage lasts well throughout the year. 
Plant in peat or add a little sand. Drainage should be perfect al- 
though the plants should be watered freely. Use acid fertilizer only 
and keep up the soil acidity by applications of soil sulfur or alum. 
Azaleas are shallow rooted and benefit from a mulch of peat or oak 
leaf mold to keep the soil surface moist and cool. 
From 2'%4-inch pots: 3 for $1.25; 12 for $4.00; 24 for $7.50.
