We have upwards of one hundred varieties in our collection. The colors include pure white, all shades of 
crimson, scarlet, purplish, salmon, and with exquisite variegations, mottlings, stripes, blotches, etc. Single 
and double flowers. We grow Azaleas in very large 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 latitude, but succeed best in a somewhat shady situa- 
tion 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 conservatories or rooms.
