Lathhouse scene showing 80,000 Azaleas, mostly Kurume. 
We shipped out all the salable plants from this lathhouse 
last season and now have it filled again. 
Next year we will have 100,000 Kurume Azaleas, 8 to 
10-inch and 10 to 12-inch size, to sell from this lathhouse. 
KURUME AZALEAS 
Perhaps the most popular group of Azaleas, as they 
have such a wide use. The easiest moneymaker of any pot 
plant, they are easy to grow and if not disposed of the first 
season, will only be more valuable the next. One plant 
in a pot will make a nice show and is sure to please your 
customers. For outside planting, they will stand more 
cold than the Indicas, and can be planted outdoors in al- 
most all sections of the South and even farther north with 
a little protection. 
Kurumes are very easy to handle in the greenhouse. 
Pot them up in acid soil, using a good amount of peat moss. 
Place in a moderately warm house and spray frequently 
with a strong force of water. This will tend to keep down 
red spiders and thrips. They will come into full bloom 
in from 50 to 75 days, depending on the season. 
Our 4 to 6-inch liners make excellent plants to pot up 
and grow for another season’s sale. The cost is very low 
and you will have some really nice plants to offer your 
customers in less than a year. If you have never grown 
any, you should by all means order some at once.
