quantities and annually add all the new European varieties. 
All our plants are grown in open ground during summer and 
lifted in October, when they are in the most healthy condition. 
Plant in March if intended for open ground. 
These beautiful shrubs are perfectly hardy in this lati- 
tude, but succeed best in a somewhat shady situation, and in 
a light soil containing an abundance of leaf-mold. They are of 
the greatest value for all purposes, either for massing or as 
single specimens in open ground, or for the decoration of con- 
servatories or rooms. 
If the plants are grown in pots, they should be repotted 
after flowering and before the new growth begins. Keep the 
plants sheltered for a few days and then plunge the pots in 
open ground in a shady situation, or they may be planted in 
an open border and kept shaded. 
If plants are required for winter blooming in conserva- 
tory. they should be lifted and repotted before very cold 
weatherand kept inacoolgreenhouse. By judiciously selecting 
the varieties, a continuous supply of flowers may be had from 
January until May. 
Azaleas are liable to attaeks of red spider and thrips, espe- 
cially if plants are allowed to suffer from want of proper water- 
ing. Daily syringing of plants kept under glass will aid in 
eradicating these pests. 
Potting soil should be composed of half peat, half leaf-mold 
and good loam; abundant drainage must be given. 
The engraving from photograph taken at Fruitland well 
shows the superb proportions to which Indian Azaleas may be 
grown in this latitude. It will be noted, too, that they cover 
themselves with flowers in the same prodigal fashion set by 
the diminutive bushes with which our more northern custo- 
mers are familiar. 
A well-fed, tended and pruned Azalea need never grow 
seraggy and misshapen with age, but should become more 
beautiful every year, as its increasing spread of branches gives 
room for the display of myriads more of flowers. We believe 
that by following the hints given above, any of our southern 
customers may own specimens as fine as those illustrated. 
Those who grow Azaleas in the house should remember that 
the flowers will last much longer if the plants are kept in a 
cool room after they have expanded.
