NEW VARIETIES 
The following New Azalea varieties will be 
offered to the trade for the 1937-38 forcing season 
commencing 
October 1, 1937 
TWENTY GRAND. (A Pericat Seedling.) 
Flowers semi-double, one and one-half to two 
inches in diameter. Color—a stunning rose-pink. 
The flowers are long-lasting and fade gracefully and 
closely resemble the large blooms of the Belgian 
indica types. Plant is a strong grower with neat, 
deep green foliage. Equal in hardiness to Coral 
Bell and Salmon Beauty. Recommended for Easter 
and Mothers’ Day. 
CHINA SEAS. (A Pericat Seedling.) 
Flowers a brilliant mandarin pink, like polished 
lacquer. You need smoked glasses for this one. 
Strong grower with light green foliage. Equal in 
hardiness to Coral Bell and Salmon Beauty. Recom¬ 
mended for Easter and Mothers’ Day. 
We will also offer a stock of a variety brought 
out a few years ago by the Slocock Nurseries in 
Woking, England, and known as Goldsworth Red. 
GOLDSWORTH RED. 
Flowers a clear, bright crimson and each bloom 
stands out by itself amid deep green foliage. A 
loose, flat grower and very dainty when in bloom. 
This variety is strictly a Mothers’ Day item for 
which date it comes into bloom naturally under 
cool glass. It resents forcing and if pushed flowers 
unevenly and makes too much soft growth. For 
Mothers’ Day it will be hard to beat in our opinion, 
and we think it will replace Hinodigeri. 
There have been plenty of new Azalea varieties 
offered to the trade during the past few years, ac¬ 
companied by lurid descriptions and extravagant 
claims. Most of them rapidly passed out of the 
picture while the trade stuck to such varieties as 
Coral Bell, Salmon Beauty, Hinodigeri, etc., all of 
which varieties are characterized by vivid color of 
flower, good foliage and symmetrical growth. 
The trade and public most obviously will not 
tolerate or buy weak, pale and washed-out Azaleas. 
For this reason the eight or nine new varieties of 
Azaleas which we shall introduce during the next 
few years will all be characterized by vividness of 
color, good foliage and strong growth. The colors 
will be such as appeal to the virile nature of the 
American public.
