AZALEAS, HARDA^ GHENT AZALEAS, CROWNED AT THE GRAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS AT ANTWERP, BRUSSELS, etc. These hybrids derive from the Turkish Azalea pontica, artificially fecundated with various american types. From these, the Flemish have succeeded in raising a series of the most splendid hybrids universally known by the name GHENT AZALEAS. As the name indicates, it is to Ghent that the horticultural world is indebted for the immense variety of these large- flowering magnificent hybrids, which now form such an invaluable aid in the decoration of the flowergarden during the spring.
