And, when this misunderstand- ing was rectified, the azaleas came tlirougli. In refcM'cnce to the sbipnu-nt of aza- leas and rhododendrons this year, we be"- to ailvise that we have taken the mat" ter uj. with the State De|iartment and under date of August 2, l!»]7, we were assured that so far as the department knows there have l)eeii no i-estrict ions or laws changed since JiMO by wlii<di azaleas have l)een iierniitted to come in, and made to the Belgian Bank in London.
