Azalea Mollis 
CRAPE MYRTLE (Lagerstroemia Indica) — Classed 
by many as the finest flowering garden shrub. Often 
known as the Lilac of the South. Fully hardy as far 
north as northern Maryland. In more northern loca- 
tions it dies back to the ground each winter, but as it 
is the habit of Crape Myrtle to bloom on new wood, 
the new canes that sprout from the vigorous root 
system each spring are a mass of flowers by mid- 
summer, the blooms are large rich in color and very 
attractive.
