U. S. D. A. AZALEAS 



Some years ago the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture in- 

 troduced a collection of Azaleas mostly from Japan. 

 We have selected the following, as one of the best. 



BENI KIRISHIMA. Old rose, esmi-double. 



-4 yr 7.00 60.00 



NEW U. S. D. A. AZALEAS 



These varieties were developed by B. Y. Morrison 

 and J. L. Creech at the U. S. Plant Introduction 

 Station, Glenn Dale, Maryland, from a series of 

 crosses made in 1947 and designed to incorporate 

 some of the flower qualities of the Belgian-type azal- 

 eas into the hardy Glenn Dale hybrids. 



After widespread trials of 96 selections, the azal- 

 eas listed here are considered to be the most promis- 

 ing for the azalea-growing areas of southeastern 

 United States, from Washington, D. C., to Louisiana, 

 and for forcing in all areas. 



Their significant characteristic is in the pastel 

 coloring of the flowers and the heavy texture of the 

 petals. Occasionally the white selections are flecked 

 and striped with red or purple, and some flowers 

 show an irregular degree of doubleness. They flower 

 in the Washington, D. C. area about May 8 to 15.
