BACK ACRE AZALEAS 



By Morrison 



These azaleas are the first of the seedlings grown on personally, with a 

 breeding program that is an extension of one phase of the original Glenn 

 Dale work. They are not Glenn Dales, but are more closely related to the 

 Satsuki group from Japan. 



The breeding program centered and still centers on the production of 

 double flowers that will be hardy for outside work, and in as wide a range 

 of kinds that have white or nearly white centers and colored margins. 

 The doubles are represented in this offering but only a few of those to 

 come. The white or light centered kinds are a mere sample of the range to 

 be available shortly. 



These kinds are from parents that are perfectly cold hardy in Wash- 

 ington, D.C. and plants have been tested safely in that area, in Memphis, 

 Tenn., and in the general Atlanta area. In extremely cold winters there 

 was some loss of flower buds. 



The usual variation in degree of doubling may be expected on newly set 

 plants, and the variations in light centers will vary considerably until the 

 plants are old enough to have many, small, blooming shoots.
