4 TOM DODD NURSERIES, Semmes, Alabama 
AZALEAS 
Our efforts of the past season have been amply rewarded 
with the finest stock of Azaleas we have ever grown. As 
we said in our letter of introduction, we have developed 
some very fine plants in the Kurume type for the florist, 
but for the nurserymen and Jandscape men we have also 
the very best in Indica types as well as some very hardy 
Kurumes which, through special efforts, have been made to 
stand much colder weather than ordinary [ath-house 
Azaleas. Local landscape men have found them a boon to 
their trade. As this list goes to press, our [ining-out stock 
is In prime condition, and, from all indications, promises to 
be the “‘tops” in this section this year. 
For culture, Azaleas need only slight attention and won- 
derful results may be obtained. They require a light, well- 
drained soil, slightly acid and containing peat-moss or leaf- 
mold if available. Partial shade, especially when young, 
and ample water during the dry weather are the other es- 
sentials. 
Azaleas have proved their value in the South to the nur- 
serymen and are rapidly proving their worth as pot-plants 
to the Northern florists. Use more Azaleas! You will find 
them a very profitable item in your trade. 
Indica Azalea 
The most popular of all Southern flowering shrubs and 
evergreens, the Indica Azalea continues to retain its un- 
equaled charm and beauty in the Jandscaped gardens and 
lawns of the smallest to the largest estates. 
As its popularity increases, our efforts to produce the 
best stock continues, and now we have a fine supply of 
many of this type. All are well rooted, have been root- 
pruned, and are guaranteed to have the best foliage color 
that can be produced. We urge you to try at least a few. 
You will be completely satisfied with the sales of these fine, 
beautiful plants.
