white flowers in the spring and shiny black

AZALEAS are ‘tops’ among the flowering 
shrubs and are not as difficult to grow as 
most people believe. A location protected 
from dry winds such as the east side of a 
building, partial shade, plenty of peat and 
mildly acid soil, will satisfy the hardy kinds 
listed. Most varieties grown in the South 
and East are not hardy here and not adaptable 
to Iowa soil. 
—Corsage. Large orchid flowers cover the bush. 
—Ghent Hybrids. Varying shades of lavender. 
—Hino Crimson. A small semi-evergreen type 
with bright crimson flowers. Need winter pro- 
tection. 
—Mollis. Clusters of large orange flowers 
before the leaves. Will bloom first season 
planted. 
—Mucromulatum. The lavender pink flowers 
are about the first flowers of Spring. Will 
tolerate sweeter soil and more sun than other 
azaleas. |
