PITTSVILLE, MARYLAND 



GABLE' S HARDIER AZALEAS 



Mr. Joseph B. Gable of Pennsylvania has spent almost a 

 lifetime working with Azaleas and Rhododendrons. Many 

 years ago he started breeding azaleas with the hopes of pro- 

 ducing a hardier type of evergreen azalea in a good color 

 range than then available. He has had wonderful success 

 and is now recognized as the leader in this held. 



You who have been getting our catalogs for the past fifteen 

 vears have seen how successful his efforts have been and 

 there are many more of his later productions following as 

 soon as sufficient stock can be produced. 



We are verv proud that Mr. Gable has furnished us with 

 these new creations as soon as he had the stock to offer and 

 we know from the reports we have received from our cus- 

 tomers that his hopes have been more than realized. 



As to hardiness: these varieties will average hardier than 

 Hinodegiri and Amoena and much hardier than the other 

 Kurumes. All have lived and flowered in the open field where 

 they have withstood temperatures of twenty below zero and 

 more in the past few winters with only negligible injury to 

 a few. Most of them were uninjured.
