UST as the Rhododendron is the King of the Evergreen 
iene so are its cousins, the Azaleas, the aristocrats of 
the Deciduous Shrubs. In color, the Azaleas give an assort- 
ment of hues in much wider range than in the Rhododen- 
drons — 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. 
All Azaleas will be balled and burlapped (B-B) without extra 
charge. 
Azalea arborescens Sweet Azalea 
The charm of this Azalea lies not in its pinkish white flowers, but 
in their intense and delicious fragrance which is wafted through the 
open windows during its flowering season, mid-June. The plants are 
low, broad and dense, and particularly desirable for mass effects.

A. kaempferi Torch Azalea 
A very handsome, tall growing variety with flowers which vary 
from bright orange-red to salmon-pink from middle to late May. It 
thrives in partial shade and is benefited by small applications of 
lime. Exceptionally desirable and we believe it is one of the best 
of all for brilliancy, refinement of color, and abundance of flowers.
