Hardy Deciduous and Evergreen Azaleas 
ORE than forty years ago we 
found that brilliant color in 
American gardens during May 
and early June was sadly lacking except 
for Holland bulbs. We therefore began 
importing Azaleas, later to find they 
could be successfully propagated here. 
The result is that today we are the 
world’s largest Azalea growers and able 
to offer them at greatly reduced prices 
so that everybody may enjoy them. 
Try at least a few massed in the fore- 
ground of existing shrubbery and founda- 
tion plantings that may otherwise be 
drab. All types and varieties we grow 
are hardy and easy of culture, although 
they do prefer a slightly sheltered posi- 
tion and the addition of leaf mold, peat 
moss, or some acid fertilizer to an average 
garden loam.

Greenhouse Plants 
Among the thousands of plants grown in our 
8 acres of greenhouses, we have many suitable for 
small private greenhouses or conservatories. 
Tender azaleas are a specialty with us and are 
easily forced for colorful blooms in winter. 
Greenhouse Grapes are another interesting spe- 
cialty meeting with favor; they are delicious.
