Japanese Kurume Azaleas 
FOR OUTDOORS AND FORCING 
These Azaleas were originally imported into California from 
the city of Kurume, on the Island of Kyashu, Japan. From 
California they found their way East, where a few progressive 
nurserymen saw their possibilities and at once started propa¬ 
gation. Although not exactly new, they are still very scarce. 
For garden planting there is nothing to equal their useful¬ 
ness when placed amongst broad-leaved evergreens, such as 
kalmias, rhododendrons, etc., being naturally protected in 
this manner. A thorough mulching with dry hardwood leaves. 
such as oak or beech, allows them to be planted in borders, 
rockeries, beds, or in mass. 
Hemlock or spruce boughs, brush, or chicken-wire should be 
used to prevent the leaves from being blown away. 
Cultural requirements are the same as those of rhododen¬ 
drons, to which you are referred. They cannot endure lime or 
limy soil and require plenty of moisture and good drainage. 
For forcing in midwinter, Kurume Azaleas are very useful, 
adding a wealth of color to beautify conservatories. 
The term “hose-in-hose” applies to a compound flower 
composed of two similar or identical funnel-shaped corollas, 
one apparently growing out of the throat of the other.
