THE TINGLE NURSERY CO., PITTSVILLE, MD. 1 
WHY THIS LITTLE CATALOG 
We have been growing nursery stock for 
the wholesale trade during the past 44 years. 
This is our first retail price list since 1941. So 
many of you kept asking for a retail catalog 
we decided to issue this one and we will cer- 
tainly appreciate your orders, which will have 
our careful attention. 
LITTLE PLANTS FOR LITTLE MONEY 
The value of a plant is not determined by its size, 
invariably. Of course, it may be so small as to be of 
no value whatever. Many of us want a plant but 
cannot or do not want to pay as much for it as a 
large one will cost, but are perfectly willing, and 
sometimes rather, wait for it to grow if we can get 
a small one for less money. 
This is our thought in preparing this catalog. You 
will find many new and rare plants offered herein 
that are impossible to get in large sizes and many 
more that are more plentiful in the larger sizes but 
at a much higher price than we are asking for these 
smaller ones. 
READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Order as early as you can. Send payment by check or 
money order. Teli us when to ship and how (Freight, Ex- 
press or Parcel Post). 
Our prices are f.o.b. here—you pay all carriage charges. 
We think our stock is about as good as can be grown but 
we cannot and do not guarantee it to grow as your Soil and 
weather may not suit it. 
We use every precaution to keep our stock true to name 
and in case any proves otherwise, we will replace it or re- 
fund the amount paid us, but in no case will we be respon- 
sible for any sum greater than that paid us for the stock. 
GROWING GOOD AZALEAS 
Azaleas will grow in full sun or in shade. In the sun you 
will have brighter colors and growth will be shorter. We 
prefer a little shade if convenient. The small pot-grown 
plants should be planted about ten or twelve inches apart 
in a prepared bed consisting of about equal parts of good 
acid soil and peat moss or rotten leaf-mold, with about 
one-half shade. 
Azaleas like acid soil with plenty of peat moss or leaf- 
mold in it. As a fertilizer rotten cow manure, cotton-seed 
meal and tankage are good. Use this in early spring and 
keep well mulched with peat moss or leaf-mold and keep 
the plants well watered during dry weather. 
For scale and red spider use Volck, one to fifty. : 
If your soil is not acid enough we suggest you use Alumi- 
num Sulphate. This, we can furnish at 20 cents per pound, 
10 lbs. at 15c per pound, 50 lbs. or more at 10c per pound. 
You use 4% to % pound per square yard. 
AZALEAS 
_ The popularity of Azaleas is easily understood for where, 
in the whole range of flowering shrubs, will one find such 
brilliance of colour? Moreover, there are few, if any, shrubs 
which present such diversity of hue, and in the amazing 
prodigality of their flower yieid, not to mention their won- 
derful fragrance, they are unchallenged. Then the fact that 
they are very easily grown in any medium to light lime-free 
soil has helped them along the way to general approbation. 
Many of them add to their laurels by giving an autumn leaf 
colour of remarkable splendour. 
Their all-round usefulness in the garden has also done 
much for the esteem which azaleas have won. Given anything 
like a suitable soil they will thrive in sun or shade. We may 
grow them singly or in groups, they can be massed over ex- 
tensive slopes, used for belting the margins of woodland 
walks or for undercropping tall trees. Or they can be in- 
vited to take a share of the mixed shrub plantation. In all 
these and endless other ways azaleas have proved their fitness 
and reliability.
