Azalea Mollis 
The flowering shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year but never for long periods. They are the hardi- 
est of shrubs, withstanding heat and cold. In fact, their extreme 
hardiness makes them desirable for mountain homes. Others be- 
cause they are not so large can be used where definite height of 
growth is a consideration in the garden. Many produce showy flow- 
ers, without which the garden would lack much in interest and 
sparkle.

The old fashioned flowering quinces with their bright red flowers 
in early spring were showy in their day but never equal to the newer

soms.

less type. The flower petals are so large they overlap, creating an 
attractive ruffled effect. Dazzling brilliant red, the best red to date. 
SNOW. Pure glistening white. Very large and vigorous. 
STANFORD RED. Large crimson red flowers of robust habit. Good 
for cutting as they hold up well and are almost thornless.

mine, red and pink. Many large flow2red, choice varieties. 
HYDRANGEA HORTENSIS. Dense 6-foot shrub with bold dark
