US D.A. AZALEAS 



Some years ago the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture introduced a collection of 

 Azaleas mostly from Japan. We have been growing these Azaleas many 

 years and have selected the following varieties as the best ones in this col- 

 lection. They are well worth trying. 

 BENI KIRISHIMA. Old rose, semi-double.

NEW U.S.D.A. AZALEAS 



The Crops Research Division of the Agricultural Research Service, U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, hereby releases five 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 azaleas into the hardy Glenn Dale hybrids. 



After widespread trials of 96 selections, the azaleas being released at this 

 time are considered to be the most promising for the azalea-growing areas 

 of southeastern L'nited 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. These are sugeested for further trial.

BAYOU (PI 279405). A spreading azalea with leaves narrow elliptic, 



slightly hairy, dark green. Flowers 2^2" across, single but with occasional 



petaloid stamens, white with occasional scarlet flakes and stripes.

GREEN MIST (PI 279406). A somewhat upright azalea with leaves glossy, 

 narrow elliptic, glabrous. Flowers 2/4" across, single, white with a distinct 

 greenish blotch, heavy texture to the flowers. We have found this the 

 hardier of this set.

VUYKIANA AZALEAS 



A new race of large flowered Japanese .\zaleas, produced by crossing 

 hardy Azalea Malvatica hybrids with Azalea Mollis. Sturdy growers, prolific 

 bloomers. From the information we have they are much hardier than the 

 Kurume Azaleas. Flowers range from 2 to 2/; inches. All bloom late mid- 

 season. Plants grow tall. 



Each 10 100 1000 



BEETHOVEN. Large mauve. 



* 2 yr. field beds XX trans $3.50 $27.50 



JOSEPH HAYDEN 



* 2 yr. field beds XX trans $3.50 $27.50 



PALESTRINA. We are recommending this to use in place of Ledifolia Alba 



for a tall growing whitebloomer. Last season when Ledifolia .-Mba were 

 both bud and bloom killed, Palestrina came through without any wood 

 damage and plentv of white flowers. Trv it for a hardier tall white.

THE RARE FRANKLINL\ 



Here is a plant that just keeps growing in popularity. To sec the bloom 

 and fall foliage makes one want it in his own garden. This is one of our 

 very best sellers. Good for bloom and foliage effect. See page 13. 



.\zaleas will grow in full sun or in shade. In the sun you will have 

 brighter colors and growth will be shorter. ^Vc prefer a little shade if con- 

 \cnicnt. 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, \sith about one-half shade. 



.•\zaleas 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 Malathion. 



If your soil is not acid enough we suggest you use Aluminum Sulphate 

 or Sulphur.
