KIYONO NURSERIES • Crichton, Alabama 
AZALEAS, continued 
have much tender growth and are easily damaged by 
cold, we advise protecting them against the frost this 
winter. Extra expense of frost-protection will be more 
than repaid by better growth you will gain by early 
planting, but those who are not prepared to protect 
them will do well to let us book orders and make 
delivery in spring after all danger of frost is over, with¬ 
out any additional expense to our customers. 
AZALEA INDICA 
The Indica group, which are fast growers with masses 
of large flowers, are especially adapted for landscape 
planting all along the Gulf Coast up to the Atlantic 
seaboard of North Carolina. Around Mobile, Charles¬ 
ton, and some other sections, there are plants seventy 
to one hundred years old, with spread from 20 to 30 feet 
across, apparently without any special care, showing 
they are perfectly at home and easy to grow. Nursery¬ 
men in this entire section have a golden opportunity 
to give most lasting satisfaction to their customers, and 
incidentally enrich themselves, by planting extensive 
collections of these showy plants in their nurseries, 
because Azaleas will sell themselves when your 
customers see them in full bloom. We are listing the 
most important varieties, eliminating weaker growers 
or inferior flowers when the same color can be had in 
better varieties. 
BRILLIANT. A good grower with small, dark green 
leaves. Deep watermelon color, being intermediate be¬ 
tween Pride of Mobile and Pride of Dorking. Very 
good variety. 
COCCINEA MAJOR. Brilliant orange-red. A little taller 
grower than Prince of Orange. 
CRITERION. Compact grower with flowers the color of 
strawberry ice-cream, streaked with deeper pink and 
margin of white. Late bloomer and very attractive. 
CROEMINA. Fast grower. Light pink flowers of large 
size early in season. 
DUC DE ROHAN. Compact grower with pretty small 
leaves and a profusion of beautiful salmon-pink flowers. 
One of the best varieties for pot-culture.

Formosa, with light-colored pink flowers early in season. 
FIELDER’S WHITE. Large, pure white flowers early in 
season. A strong grower, free blooming, and one of the 
best whites.

petals ruffled at edges. Compact grower.

big purplish pink flowers which have less purple than

narrow leaves and vivid orange-red flowers. One of the
