NEW HARDY AZx\LEA HYBRIDS 
Would you like to be in on the introduction of our new 
azaleas before they are named? We have decided to offer 
you that opportunity. Listed below under number only, you 
will find fifty odd different azaleas. Out of some ten thou¬ 
sand hybrid seedlings we have selected through the years 
some two hundred for further observation. Of these we have 
selected for propagation and trial the fifty odd numbers 
listed here. All are outstanding and we find a final choice 
difficult. 
Therefore we have decided to offer them in limited quan¬ 
tities to our customers, hoping to get a line on the most 
popular varieties before we make any further selection. 
These hybrids have been made in the effort to originate 
a hardier strain of the Japanese type of azalea in better 
form and color than have heretofore been available in hardy 
varieties. We have agreeably surprised ourselves with the 
results and hope you will be pleased also. 
As to hardiness these varieties will average hardier than 
Azalea Hinodegiri or Amoena and much hardier than the 
Kurumes. All have lived and flowered in the open field here 
in the Pennsylvania hills where they have withstood tem¬ 
peratures of twenty below zero and more in the last few 
winters with only negligible injury to a few. Most of them 
were quite uninjured.
