38 THE TINGLE NURSERY CO. 



rffCLteat 



At this writing we believe we will have 

 about the nicest lot of Azaleas we have ever 

 grown. Besides our usual large collection of 

 the smaller sizes we have a good assortment 

 of the larger sizes. If you can come get truck- 

 loads without burlapping we can make very 

 attractive prices. Come see them. 



During the past few years the growing and sales of Azaleas 

 have increased many fold. It is doubtful if anyone visioned 

 the vast production that is now being carried on. Millions are 

 being grown and still many nurseries are sold out before 

 the season is near over each* year. 



We have been growing the Azalea a quarter of a century 

 and more, and have never had to ' "brush-pile" any. If we 

 did not sell them one year we could grow them on and they 

 would be worth more in future seasons. 



We certainly recommend the Azalea to you to grow as a 

 personal pleasure, a hobby or as a commercial proposition. 

 There is usually much enjoyment and profit in growing them. 



They are not too hard to grow. Here, we root the cuttings 

 in two parts peat-moss, three parts medium coarse, washed 

 sand. Transferring them to 2-inch pots for a season, when 

 rooted, then plant them in four-feet wide beds, five inches 

 apart each way with half shade provided by woven lath 

 shading about 16 inches above ground. They will grow for 

 two seasons under these conditions without damage to them- 

 selves, as an Azalea will withstand crowding more than 

 most plants. 



If we do not sell these plants at this stage of growth they 

 are in good size to move to other beds, spacing them farther 

 apart, or plant out in wide spaced field rows for growing on 

 as large specimen plants. 



Our soil conditions here seem to be about right for grow- 

 ing Azaleas without any special treatment. From special 

 tests that have been made, a pH between 5 and 6 seems to 

 be best. 



We use rotten cow manure, cottonseed meal, tankage and 

 specially prepared fertilizers which is marketed by many 

 concerns in growing our Azaleas, as well as for growing 

 other acid-loving plants. Many grow very nice Azaleas with 

 only leaf-mold or peat moss. 



KURUME AZALEAS 



The Kurume Azaleas are one of the most showy of all 

 flowers for the garden. They are also well adapted to forcing 

 — thousands of them being sold for Easter, Mother's Day, 

 and Decoration Day. They are comparatively easy to grow 

 and make such a wonderful display that the demand is con- 

 stantly increasing. Many of the varieties are hardy out-of- 

 doors* as far north as Long Island. They are extremely 

 floriferous, and in season, the blossoms completely cover 

 the plants. The colors are almost every hue and shade except 

 vellow, as you will find below. 



1 to 5 at each rate, 5 or more at the 10 rate, 50 or more 

 at the 100 rate, 500 or more at the thousand rate.
