These hybrids derive from the Turkish Azalea pontica, artificially fecundated 
with various american types. From these, the Flemish have succeeded 
in raising a series of the most splendid hybrids universally known by the 
name GHENT AZALEAS. As the name indicates, it is to Ghent that the 
horticultural world is indebted for the immense variety of these large- 
flowering magnificent hybrids, which now form such an invaluable aid 
in the decoration of the flowergarden during the spring.
