KURUME AZALEAS 
This group, known botanically as Azalea Obtusum 
Japonicum, includes varieties that are more dwarf in 
their habit of growth, and not quite so hardy as the 
Hardy Japanese group, but all Kurumes will stand 
the winters of almost all sections of the Southern 
states without any protection, and much farther 
North with a little protection. Their popularity is 
increasing rapidly as they become better known, es¬ 
pecially in the cooler sections of the country where 
the more tender Indicas are injured by cold. Used 
singly, or in groups by themselves, or in combination 
with Indicas or Hardy Japanese varieties, they give- 
most pleasing landscape effects, and a range of color 
that could not otherwise be obtained. 
The demand for Kurume Azaleas as pot plants 
from Eastern and Northern Florists has been grow¬ 
ing by leaps and bounds. When plants are received 
from us, all you have to do is to pot them in light 
peaty soil, keep in moderately warm houses, and 
spray with strong force of water daily to keep down 
red spiders and they will come into full bloom in 
CORAL BELLS—10-12 inch Size 
about 60 days. They are a very quick and profitable 
crop. We are now growing thousands of excellent 
Kurumes for Florists use, paying particular attention 
to the leading Florists’ varieties, such as Coral Bells, 
Salmon Beauty. Hinodegiri and Snow. 
APPLE BLOSSOM —Hose-in-hose pink flowers are 
the color of apple blossoms. 
BRIDESMAID —Salmon-pink, large size flowers are 
borne in large clusters. Very good grower. 
CARMINE PRINCE — Large size hosedn-hose car¬ 
mine-red flowers are produced very freely. Medium 
height, compact. 
CATTLEYA — Delicately lilac-tinted hose-in-hose 
petals are pointed at end and mauve-pink at the 
edges. Good grower. 
CHERRY BLOSSOM —Delicate shade of pink melts 
into white toward center. Large size flowers. 
CHRISTMAS CHEER —Compact grower with small 
shiny leaves. Deepest crimson flowers are small 
but very attractive, and one of the best varieties.
