GABLE’S HARDIER AZALEAS 
Mr. Joseph B. Gable of Pennsylvania has spent almost a 
lifetime working with Azaleas and Rhododendrons. Many 
years ago he started breeding azaleas with the hopes of pro- 
ducing a hardier type of evergreen azalea in a good color 
range than then available. He has had wonderful success 
and is now recognized as the leader in this field. 
You who have been getting our catalogs for the past fifteen 
years have seen how successful his efforts have been and 
there are many more of his later productions following as 
soon as sufficient stock can be produced. 
We are very proud that Mr. Gable has furnished us with 
these new creations as soon as he had the stock to offer and 
we know from the reports we have received from our cus- 
tomers that his hopes have been more than realized. 
As to hardiness: these varieties will average hardier than 
Hinodegiri and Amoena and much hardier than the other 
Kurumes. All have lived and flowered in the open field where 
they have withstood temperatures of twenty below zero and 
more in the past few winters with only negligible injury to 
a few. Most of them were uninjured. See article in Satur- 
day Evening Post dated March 20, 1954.
