AZALEAS 
We have many varieties of Indian and Kurume 
azaleas from very small plants up to large speci- 
mens. Write us for quotations and specimen plants 
as we do not list them in this catalogue. Generally 
speaking the Indian azaleas are less hardy than the 
Kurume varieties, have larger flowers, and the plants 
reach greater proportions in size than do the latter. 
The Kurumes are noted for their low, compact growth, 
and free flowering habits. They make excellent bor- 
der plants, and the larger varieties cam be satis- 
factorily used for background and foundation plant- 
ings. They are very hardy and if properly cared for 
will withstand heavy freezes. 
IDENTIFICATION SERVICE 
Our extensive collection of Kodachrome slides is 
available to our patrons and visitors. 
We will also do our best to identify camellia blos- 
soms sent to us. The flower, accompanied by several 
leaves from the same plant, should be packed in a 
box with moist cotton, and sent to us together with 
a stamped return-address envelope. It is also very 
helpful if an accurate description of the plant and its 
growth habits are included with the actual flower. 
It should be remembered that positive identifica- 
tion requires a fully developed bloom and that in 
many cases a variety is known by so many names 
that our extensive research into the nomenclature of 
camellias may not prove sufficient to select more 
than the name most generally used among camellia 
collectors and growers. 
CULTURE OF AZALEAS AND CAMELLIAS 
Camellias can be successfully transplanted from 
early September until March or just before the new 
growth begins. Azaleas, because of their compact 
fibrous root system can be moved at any season of 
the year; however, the best time is before they come 
into bloom, or from September through February or 
March, depending upon the weather conditions.
