EXBURY 



OLD GOLD 



OLD GOLD 



Massive, spectacular, deep golden yellow 

 trusses made up of many florets flaring with 

 a touch of copper to add warmth. Blooms 

 come in mid-May in great profusion, giving 

 a truly spectacular display. Hardy, vigorous 

 and upright. Old Gold prefers sun or open 

 shade. 



Cat. No. 8034 



GOLDEN PEACE 



An exciting bright yellow. Freely branched, 

 vigorous plants produce a profusion of 

 tremendous balloon-like trusses 6 inches 

 and more across giving a mass of color in 

 mid-May. Each large truss consists of as 

 many as 13 individual florets up to 3 inches 

 across. Gracefully frilled, bright yellow 

 petals of even color brightened by a rich 

 golden blotch to accent the upper petal. A 

 sweet, spicy fragrance. Vigorous and strong. 

 Plant Pat. 3410. 

 Cat. No. 8031 



ROYAL LODGE 



In our opinion, the best of the deeper red 

 Exburys. Actually, a deep vermilion-red 

 becoming crimson, with an attractive, 

 slightly deeper vermilion touch on the upper 

 petal. Large trusses and florets but not quite 

 so flamboyant in size or color as Gibraltar. 

 Blooms later in the season, along with its 

 foliage.

In the 1850's Anthony Waterer of Knaphill 

 Nurseries in England, became interested in 

 improving hybrid deciduous Azaleas. By 

 combining Ghent Hybrids from Belgium and 

 Mollis from Holland and crossing with the 

 Western Azalea from America, he produced the 

 Knaphill Hybrids. 



After World War I, Lord Lionel de 

 Rothschild purchased control of the Knaphill 

 breeding program. He made tens of thousands 

 of crosses and the kinds produced were named 

 Exbury after his estate.
