Red and Yellow. This is a species from China, and is, perhaps, one of the most attrac- tive flowering shrubs introduced from that countrj-. It is of com- parative dwarf, bush-like habit, with light green leaves, which are somewhat larger than those of other Azaleas. The flowers are as large as the Indian Azaleas, usually seen in greenhouses, being two and a half to three inches in diameter, and appear in bunches on the ends of the shoots. There are but two colors of it, yellow and red. The flowers expand about the middle of May. We know of no other flowering shrub of like habit to equal it in attractiveness ; and when massed in a large bed they create a particularly beautiful object on the lawn. ⢠They are also very effective when planted around the edges of Rhododendron beds, as the dark green leaves of the Rhododendrons make a strong background for the bright colors of the Azaleas. They are also valuable for mixing in beds with the Azalea Pontica, (Ghent Azaleas) as they bloom a little in advance of the others. We feel particularly fortunate in having secured an extra fine lot of these plants at a low figure, and can offer them to our customers at extremely low prices for Azalea mollis. Redoryellow.
