| plant either in large shrub borders or used by itself as a specimen. It grows best 
in full sun, in any well-drained garden soil. The Rose of Sharon grows so rapidly, 
in fact, that often it needs to be cut back. Blooms from July to September, when 
flowering shrubs are not plentiful. Flowers should be cut off as soon as they 
wither. We offer four colors: Red, Pink, White, Blue. 18 to 24in. $1.00 each; 
2 for $1.85; 4 for $3.55; 6 for $5.10.

rock-garden use. The waxy 
foliage stays green all winter.

DAPHNE CNEORUM 
| RHODODENDRON 
These massive evergreen shrubs are among the 
showiest plants for permanent effects, especially 
in shaded places. Their huge heads of bloom 
are carried proudly against the thick, leathery 
leaves in early summer. They must have acid 
soil. The roots should be kept cool and moist 
by the use of a mulch of rotted oak leaves, peat 
moss or pine needles. It is best to set the plants 
| where they will not be exposed to sharp winds. 
Mixed colors. 10 to 12 in., $1.75 each; 2 for 
$3.35; 4 for $5.95.

AZALEA MOLLIS 
Be EP ene ae ; oe Seay These aristocratic shrubs are excellent for 
el a i 4 ~~ ' formal plantings, in the shrub border and 
foundation planting. They are hardy and not 
difficult to grow. Ordinary garden treatment 
gives good results; a partly protected spot is 
advisable. A long-lived plant, increasing in 
beauty as the years pass. Excellent for either 
mass or specimen planting. The large flowers 
that come in May are delicate shades of 
yellow, salmon, etc., which contrast well with 
the dark foliage of rhododendrons. These 
plants belong to the same family and do well 
when planted together. 
There are many large Azalea gardens in the 
South that attract thousands of visitors every 
year and are world-famous. Not all of their 
varieties can be grown in the North, but 
Azalea mollis will be found very satisfactory if 
given a sheltered location. 10 to 12 in., 
$1.75 each; 2 for $3.35; 4 for $5.95.
