Shrubs. 26 Ornamental Shrubs. appear in tree form, thus affording a round, well-shaped head on an upright stem, at such height as may be de- sired. With the Japanese it is said to be the favorite among azaleas, and is largely grown. It rises to a height of three to four feet, having deciduous leaves, elliptic in form, with ciliated margins, green above and almost silvery-gray beneath. The flowers of the type are cam- panulate, somewhat downy, and flame-colored. But some of the varieties produced from seedlings and by hybridization furnish gor- geous blossoms of white, yellow, and orange, each in some cases more or less tinted. They appear early and, being large, are very showy. The A. mollis needs only to be known to be appreciated as among the best of the class. A. nudiflora, known as the wood-honeysuckle, is an excellent little shrub for planting in the border or in groups. It is of American origin, and is quite common in most parts of the United States. In some respects it azalea nudiflora. resembles the pontica and its hybrids, but is quite inferior. azalea Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Davis, Lucius Daniel, 1826-1900.
