Azaleas 
The American Azaleas, or Honeysuckles as they 
are sometimes termed, are unsurpassed for delica- 
cy of color, hardiness, and dependable bloom year 
after year. There is no susbstitute for them as ear- 
ly spring flowers, and a bloom time from early 
May until late June can be had by an assortment 
of varieties. For fall coloring the foliage is out- 
standing, turning to varied brilliant hues with the 
coming of frost.
