shrub plantings—as a stunning specimen on the lawn, planted in bold masses so that their 
glowing colors can be seen for miles. This is the true evergreen type of Azalea. 4 to 6-inch 
plants, with flower buds to bloom this spring. Postpaid: Each $3.75; 3 for $10.50; 10 for $32.50.

of evergreens and other shrubs. Its lus- 
rous dark green, leathery leaves turn a 
bronzy red in autumn. Pyramidal clus- 
ers of bright golden yellow flowers in 
May, followed by light blue berries in

grown of the evergreen shrubs.

2503 A STERN’S WINTER- HARDY 
(Azalea Kaempferi) 
The rugged mountain hardiness of these Torch Azaleas 
makes them the best pink Azalea for northern gardens. Vigor- 
ous growers, they thrive practically without care. In May 
when in full bloom the branches are so covered with masses 
of pinkish red bloom that they look almost as if they are afire. 
In fall the leaves change from their usual rich green color tc 
brilliant shades of red—tilling the autumn scene with their 
unusual beauty. Plant in semi-shade and treat the soil with 
peat moss as described on page 12.
