GLENN DALE 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 also has 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 I 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. 



The following descriptions were furnished us by Mr. 

 Morrison and are based upon the original material as grown 

 at Glenn Dale, Maryland, and give as figures for heights 

 those of the original plants, all between 15 and 20 years old, 

 under normal development except for the removal of propa- 

 gating wood during a two season period. 



The number following variety name is the Glenn Dale 

 Station number. 



Sometimes when Azalea flowers are described as striped 

 or flaked on white they will appear as a solid color. When 

 this occurs the branch should be cut out. This seems inherent 

 with the variety — not any fault of the nurseryman. 



Blooming dates are for vicinity of Washington, D. C. in 

 a normal season.
