tablespoons of Derris powder, and one teaspoon of Black 
Leaf 40 will take care of any of the insects and scales that 
affect azaleas. The spraying should be done just after the 
blooming season in the Spring, and repeated at intervals 
of not less than three to four weeks, until the trouble has 
been remedied. It is of course necessary to apply the spray 
with force, and directly on the part that is affected, which 
in most instances is on the bottom of the leaves and in the 
forks of the twigs.* 
The Pride of Mobile azalea is, in our opinion, the most 
beautiful and satisfactory of all. Its color is brilliant water- 
melon red, and it blooms more profusely than any other 
variety. The true Pride of Mobile, which we have, is a very 
hardy plant, and stands more cold than any other variety 
of Indica azalea. It generally blooms a little later than the 
other varieties, and the blooms, therefore, are not so often 
damaged by late cold weather. 
AZALEA INDICA 
Indica azaleas are not hardy in cold climates, but they 
are adaptable for plantings throughout the entire Gulf 
Coast Section, and along the Atlantic Coast area as far 
north as North Carolina. 
DAPHNE SALMON—Light salmon. Fast, compact, upright 
grower, very hardy and blooms profusely. One of the finest 
of the Indica azaleas. 
ELEGANS — Light pink. A fast upright growth, and one 
of the first to bloom. 
FISHER PINK—Light pink. Blooms mid-season about the 
same time as Pride of Mobile. Large flowers, profuse bloom- 
er, compact grower, very hardy. We think this is one of 
the best. 
FORMOSA—Light purple with pink cast. Large flowers, 
large dark green leaves, fast dense grower. Very hardy. 
The best of its color. 
GLORIA OF SUNNYHILL—Salmon or brick dusk pink. 
Compact irregular grower. Large light green leaves. Very 
satisfactory bloomer. 
INDICA ALBA—Pure white. Light green, hairy leaves, up- 
right grower, mid-season bloomer.
