The heaviest retail demand for Azaleas in bloom 
comes at Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and 
Mothers’ Day. 
But—There is a steady demand all winter and 
spring—in between holidays for plants at a reason- 
able price. 
Remember—you can’t sell what you haven’t got 
on display. 
Give us a standing order to ship you a box of 
25 or more Azaleas in mixed sizes and varieties 
every two or three weeks beginning October 1 
through until May. 
Put the plants on the bench and let them come 
into bloom in three to five weeks. No trouble and 
you will make a good profit, besides adding color 
and variety to your stock. The flowers stay sale- 
able for a long period. 
NOTES ON FORCING AZALEAS 
We cannot over-emphasize the necessity of frequent 
and sufficient watering. Therefore water them more fre- 
quently than the other potted stock on your bench. 
Nothing can prevent these Azaleas from coming into 
bloom if you keep them moist. 
(An Azalea plant in bloom is one-third larger than when 
in tight bud.) 
_Do not apply any fertilizer or manure to our Azaleas 
while they are being forced, as each plant is fertilized by 
us before shipment. 
_They like warm, sunny daytime conditions, and 
syringing the tops helps the buds to break. Keep water 
off the tops after the buds break. 
In forcing for Christmas it is advisable to pinch out 
all new growth that appears at the base of the flower buds.

Then, order heavier in time to force for each 
holiday. 
Florists are slow in adopting this policy of 
having Azaleas in bloom all through the selling 
season in between holidays. 
If it wasn’t for the heavy holidays sales of 
Azaleas we would just naturally starve to death. 
In spite of the fact that we have been begging 
florists for years to stock Azaleas in bloom AT 
ALL TIMES only 76 of our customers have tried 
it AND NOT ONE OF THE 76 HAS EVER 
QUIT. Each year they write to us in the fall to 
start shipping every 2 weeks. 
Our problem is to induce more florists to wise 
up to the steady income they are LOSING by their 
indifference. 
ot 
Azaleas when half opened or even in bloom can be 
held in saleable condition for several weeks by placing 
in cool place out of sun and keeping water off the flowers. 
We have prepared a table showing in condensed form 
the time required to bring Azaleas into bloom for definite 
dates during the forcing season. 
Think About This 
_ We draw your attention to the value of our 3 and 
4 inch pot size Azaleas for growing on into heavy 5 and 
6 inch pot size Azaleas. They will make it in one season 
at a good profit to you. 
If you want our 3 and 4 inch pot size Azaleas for 
growing on instead of for forcing tell us so in ordering 
and we can often give you a grade of plant with less flower 
buds but heavier growth,
