J^atiDe^ (^Azaleas 
^HE American Azaleas, or Honeysuckles as they are sometimes termed, are 
unsurpassed for delicacy of color, hardiness, and dependable bloom year 
after year. There is no substitute for them as early spring flowers, and a bloom 
time from early May until late June can be had by an assortment of varieties. 
For fall coloring the foliage is outstanding, turning to varied brilliant hues 
with the coming of frost. 
Azalea arborescens (Sweet Azalea ) 
The fragrance of its flowers, nestled 
among the rich, shiny, green foliage will 
carry throughout your garden. Broad 
and dense in growth it is excellent for 
border plantings. The white or slightly 
pink flowers appear in June. 
Azalea nudiflora (Pinxter Azalea ) 
Similar to Azalea rosea and often clas' 
sified as the same. Light pink to deep 
rose flowers bloom in May. While it is 
not very fragrant its fine growing quab 
ities make it very desirable. 
Azalea viscosa (Swamp Azalea ) 
While this plant is often found grow- 
ing in low, swampy areas, it is also a 
native of higher locations and does well 
in either place. Its profusion of white 
blooms in June and July spread a delight' 
ful fragrance through the garden. The 
shiny, blue'green foliage turns shades of 
bronze and red in the fall. 
Azalea vaseyi ( Pinl} Shell Azalea ) 
Very appropriately called Pink Shell 
Azalea as the blooms reflect the delicate 
pinks of sea shells. The flowers appear 
in late April before the foliage, and 
present possibilities of many interesting 
combinations with early spring flowers. 
The foliage turns shades of red in late 
summer. 
Azalea calendulacea (Flame Azalea) 
"Oh, what glorious shades of color,” 
is an expression frequently heard when 
visitors to the nursery see this plant 
blooming in late May. Yellows, oranges, 
reds, and all conceivable combinations of 
these colors are apparent in a grouping 
of this . hardy Azalea. Authorities rate it 
one of the best for Northern gardens. 
Azalea rosea (Downy Pinxterbloom) 
Fragrance and beauty attract attention 
to this fine American Azalea. The lovely, 
rich, rose'pink blooms have a spicy fra- 
grance which delights visitors to our 
nursery during May. The plants arc 
more formal in outline than other native 
Azaleas, are particularly hardy, and 
adapted to mountain conditions. 
Azalea canadensis (Rhodora) 
Early visitors to the nursery enjoy the 
profusion of delicate, lavendempink 
blossoms of this dwarf Azalea, as they 
appear in April. Excellent for a natum 
alistic ground cover in wooded areas, or 
their borders, as the plants spread by 
underground shoots, producing mats that 
are often three feet high.
