THE NEW JAPANESE KURUME AZALEAS 



Unquestionably these new Azaleas are the most 

 Important flowering plants that have come for- 

 ward since the Introduction of the Lorraine Be- 

 gonias and its types and the French Hydrangeas, 

 and we believe they wlil, in a short time, due to 

 the ease with which they are handled, their many 

 varied colors, and the satisfaction they will give 

 to the amateur, become even more popular than 

 these standard favorites. 



The illustration here shown is a 5-inch pot 

 plant, the photograph of which was taken just 

 eighteen months after the cutting was inserted In 

 the propagating bench. It is one of the plants 

 that was shown in our exhibit at the International 

 Flower Show at New York, which attracted so 

 much attention. This plant demonstrates the 

 speed with which good salable plants with an 

 abundance of flowers can be developed. 



It will be noticed that with the exception of the 

 variety Hinamayo, Introduced some 6 or 8 years 

 since, we are offering these new introductions un- 

 der descriptive English names and not under the 

 Japanese names under which they were imported. 

 This may be open to criticism but in explanation of same 

 we will state that the Japanese stock supplied to us was 

 so badly mixed, 3 and 4 different colors having been sup- 

 plied under one label so that identification was impossible. 

 Furthermore, we believe the trade, as well as the public In 

 general, will better appreciate the descriptive names under 

 which we are now offering them.
