AZALEA MOLLIS, Red and Yellow. This is a species from China, and is perhaps, one of the most attrac- tive flowering shrubs introduced from that country. 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 thr^e inches in diameter, and appear in bunches on the ends of the shoots. There are but two colors of it, yellow and red, and they expand about the middle of May. We know of no other flowering. shrub to equal them in attractive- ness ; and when massed in a large 'oed they create a particularly beautiful spot 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, for this Spring only, at extremely low prices for quantities, until this special lot is all disposed of. AZALEA. Azalea amoena. An evergreen species. I^eaves small, almost round, dark green, turning almost black in winter. It is a dwarf, compact grower. About the second week in May it is completely covered with claret colored flowers. Besides making a conspicuous specimen plant, it is also used largely for planting around the edges of Azalea and Rhododendron beds. 12 to 15 in. Bushy clumps $ 50 each $4 00 per 10 " Calendulacea.
