NEW HARDY CAMELLIA SASANQUA 
AS EASY TO GROW AS AZALEA 
One of the newer and finest of all the broad-leaved ever- 
greens. Similar to the ever-popular Camellia japonica of the 
South, but looser and faster growing. Plants bloom profusely 
from the latter part of September through November. Sasanquas 
can be grown without protection from the vicinity of Baltimore 
southward and in other warm sections. They are easily grown 
in soils and locations suitable for azaleas. 
ANNETTE—A two-toned variety, similar to Cinderella but 
more dense in growth and a much deeper shade of pink. 
BENI KANT SUBAKI (Shishi Gashira)—Double, red flowers of 
good size. Growth and leaf characteristics more like the 
Japonica type. An excellent grower. 
BRILLIANCE—Single flower with 7 or 8 petals of light rose- 
pink. Very compact, upright grower. 
CINDERELLA—Rather dense, rapid grower of pyramidal habit, 
with handsome, single, two-toned flowers which are white in 
center and shade to pink at the ends of the petals. 
DAWN—Hardiest of all Sasanquas. Blooms withstand the sever- 
est freezes. Buds are perfect when other varieties are 
frozen. Semi-double; ivory-white with flesh-pink at the 
margins of the petals. Compact and symmetrical in shape. 
DAYDREAM—Quite large single to semi-double white flowers 
with pink edges. One of the better new ones. 
HINODEGUMO—Large single flower with 8 or 9 petals which 
are wavy and crep-like in texture. White with pink edge. 
MAIDEN BLUSH—Single; clear pink. Fast, compact grower. 
MINE-NO-YUKI — (Snow-on-the-Mecuntain) — Large double, 
white flowers resemble a carnation and are borne in such 
profusion as to literally cover the entire plant. 
OLEIFERA (Covington)—Very large white edged rose crinkled 
petals. Very fast grower. 
RUBRA SIMPLEX—Single red flowers. Very good grower. 
USU BENI—Double flowers of soft orchid-pink, with some white

AZALEA MOLLIS HYBRIDS (Rare Colors) 
The color range is through innumerable shades of orange, 
flame, yellow and salmon-orange of the most brilliant hues. Un- 
like all other Azaleas, it is quite tolerant of lime and does well 
most anywhere. It is very hardy; ten degrees below zero does 
not affect the flower buds. A group of these in bloom in the 
foreground of the shrub border is a delightful sight. Average 
height of old plants about 3 to 5 feet. Mixed shades only. 
Bushy, 8 to 12-in. plants, some with flowering buds, $1.50 
each; 3 for $4.00; 6 for $7.00. Bushy, 12 to 15-in. plants, covered 
with flower buds, $2.50 each; 3 for $7.00; 6 for $12.50. 
AZALEA MOLLIS (Selected yellow)—Nice bushy plants, well 
budded, 10 to 15 in. high, $3.00 each; 3 for $8.00. 
AZALEA PONTICUM YELLOW—A matchless aristocrat of 
brilliant yellow, flowers in late May. Its thrilling, exciting sweet 
honeysuckle fragrance will never be forgotten. Blooms freely 
and will enliven all companion plants. Grows the same height as 
the Mollis. Bushy, well-budded plants, 10-15 in. high, $3.00 each. 
EVERGREEN AZALEAS 
We are proud of the Azaleas we offer this year. They are 
the finest in quality and at reasonable prices, too. All reach 
about the same height at maturity—2% to 3% feet. Azaleas 
require acid soil and prefer a partly shaded location. They are 
not recommended for colder areas than Long Island. These love- 
ly evergreen Azaleas are available in the following varieties: 
CORAL BELLS—Coral-pink. HINODEGIRI—Brilliant red. 
HEXE—Very beautiful semi- SHERWOOD ORCHID — Or- 
double, large rose-red flow- chid-lavender. 
ers. SNOW—Snow-white. 
Bushy, 3-yr. plants ready to bloom, $2.00 each; 3 
for $5.50; 6 for $10.00. 
NEW HYBRID RHODODENDRON 
The aristocrats of broad-leaf evergreen shrubs. Perhaps no 
other flowering bush makes such a spectacular show or creates 
more interest than these new hybrid Rhododendrons. Ideal for 
foundation planting on the east or north side of the house, or for 
specimen or group plantings, in any partially shaded location in 
the garden. They require=acid soil, and it is always best to mix 
a liberal amount of peat moss or rotted oak leaves into the soil 
at the time of planting, and to add a mulch of either leaves or 
peat moss—a little each year, preferably in the fall. This will 
furnish the proper soil condition that they need. At maturity, 
these handsome shrubs will attain a height of 4 to 6 feet. Plants 
offered are grown from seed of the finest new reds. No doubt, of 
course, that these varieties will show some variations in color; 
therefore, the plants offered are not guaranteed as to color, but 
we can assure you that whatever color you get, it will be 
fascinating and most beautiful. 3-yr.-old, plants 10 to 12 in. high, 
$2.00 each; 2 for $3.50; 4 for $6.00;'12 for $15.00. 
PIERIS JAPONICA 
Japanese Andromeda; Lily-of-the-Valley Shrub. One of love- 
liest shrubs. Graceful sprays of flower buds formed in late sum- 
mer. Later the foliage assumes glorious bronzy tints. Early 
spring burs open into creamy white flowers resembling lilies-of- 
the-valley. Develops into a lovely specimen, shade or sun. Grows 
to about 5 ft. Nice young plants, 10-12., $1.00 each; 6 for $5.00.
