AZALEAS, continued 
will have many more flower buds, but the flower buds will 
be more susceptible to frost injury. During dry weather 
they will have to be watered more often, and will have to 
be mulched heavier. The plants in the shade will have 
some protection from the cold injury, but will have fewer 
flowers. Kurume varieties will bloom more profusely in 
the shade than the Indicas, but never attain the size of 
the latter. 
We would like to suggest that you grow more of these 
flowering shrubs. When they come into bloom in the 
winter and spring months you will be amply rewarded 
for your foresight in planting them. They are the quickest 
turnover of any investment you could make, and are easy 
to handle, once you get the knack of it. Nothing, to our 
mind, is more beautiful than an Azalea Garden in full 
bloom. 
AZALEA INDICA 
These Azaleas are for the most part, the most showy 
of all in the gardens of the lower South and along the 
Atlantic coast line. They are ideal for landscape work 
in this section, for they make nice, thick, green foliage 
plants and are a mass of color in late winter and spring. 
They require no pruning after they get established. We 
suggest that you use them more extensively in your work, 
and you will have the thanks of your customers for many 
years to come. An Azalea in bloom is all the advertise- 
ment you need to sell it and other plants to go with it. 
This season we have some fine plants of Indicas, as 
we have pinched them back many times. We know you 
will be well pleased with our plants, and we invite your 
inquiries. Our liners are better than any we have seen, 
and besides getting repeat orders from last season’s 
customers, we are getting a great many letters from others 
in regard to our liners.
