Azalea Mollis is very hardy and easily grown. Fine specimens of it may be seen in Chicago 
and Des Moines, lowa. Does not require an acid soil. 
Azalea Kaempferi, Carmen and Fedora HH dy Azalea HW lig 
oe are j ; The hardy Azalea Mollis are the aristocrats of the deciduous shrubs. 
In color they give an assortment of hues and wonderful pastel shades 
unequalled by any other hardy shrub. The opportunities for using Azalea 
Mollis are almost unlimited. They work in perfectly in formal plantings, 
in front of the house, in tne foreground of a shrub border or any foun- 
dation planting. Then again bold groups can be planted where their 
masses of color make telling effects. 
Culture: Azaleq Mollis, contrary to general belief, do not require an 
acid! soil. Beautiful specimens are being grown in Chicago as well as in 
Des Moines, lowa. All they ask is a reasonably good garden soil and 
an occasional top dressing of cow manure to make them grow freely. 
They do not require a Jot of water nor is it essential to prepare soils 
with a lot of peat or leaf mold. While they do quite well in shade, they 
prefer full sun. To insure a heavy mass of blooms each year, it is 
recommended that the faded flowers be removed and not permitted to 
go to seed. Do not cultivate deeply as all Azaleas root quite close to 
the surface of the soil. 
Hardiness: Azalea Mollis are very hardy. Temperatures as low as 
ten degrees below zero will not kill them, but we recommend that if 
planted in sections of the country where these how temperatures prevail, 
the tops of the plants be protected with some cover such as a piece of 
burlap or cloth. Spring planting or fall panting is equally satisfactory. 
It is not necessary to lift and transplant Azalea Mollis with a ball of 
earth. They transplant and grow freely without. This makes shipping a 
simple and inexpensive matter. Mature plants depending on variety 
reach a height of 3 to 6 feet.
