GLENN DALE HYBRID AZALEAS 



The Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction at the 

 Glenn Dale Plant Station began introducing, in 1941, a group 

 of selected seedlings from their own crosses. We have been 

 growing and propagating these plants since then and we are 

 now offering them to the trade. 



The purpose of this breeding work was to obtain a class 

 of winter-hardy Azaleas that would have as large and varied 

 flowers as those of the "Indian Azaleas" which are not 

 hardy in this section. Mr. B. Y. Morrison, who has been 

 leading in this work, has done a wonderful job, not only in 

 producing large size and varied colors but has also bred the 

 hardiness into the plants. These plants are most interesting. 

 The flowers run to over 5-inches across and include both self- 

 colored and variegated. The plants are mostly excellent 

 growers and do well here, and from all appearances will 

 grow well in much colder sections. 



When I was told they had some blooms that would run 

 over 5-inches across I could hardly believe it but, it is so. 

 I have seen them, and hope to offer some of the plants in 

 another season or two. We only have a small quantity of 

 some varieties, but hope to get all varieties distributed in 

 as large an area as possible so we may have information as 

 to how they grow generally throughout the country. If you 

 get some of these we will appreciate knowing how they 

 grow with you. We suggest you give these a trial. 



In addition to the following list, we have many more 

 varieties. A descriptive list of them will be sent on request. 

 The demand for these last season was heavy. We sold all 

 we could spare of many varieties and have sold a good many 

 for delivery this fall.
