HARDY GHENT AZALEAS 
One of Mr. Bobbink’s life-long ambitions has fimally been realized. He and his co-workers 
perfected new and quicker methods of propagation so that quantities of true-to-name, mature 
Ghent Azaleas, technically known as Pontica and Rustica named varieties, are now available. 
Heretofore these gems have been almost buried under the ground of prohibitive prices, so to 
speak. The connoisseur knew them, but only the rich could afford them. Not so many years 
ago this type of plant imported from Europe sold for $20 to $25 each and could only be seen and 
enjoyed on large estates. But now the owner of every garden of medium size will be able to 
display at least a few. They are absolutely hardy and rugged, even in cold climates. Their 
foliage, even though deciduous, is handsome and especially valuable for its autumn colors. 
Their bloom period follows Azalea Mollis by two or three weeks. 
Their captivating fragrance is akin to the honeysuckle as a base with many satisfying and 
soothing perfumed scents blended in; this unusual fragrance, even at a distance, is probably 
as noted a characteristic as the beauty of the flower itself. 
SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER: 6 XiME?,YARIETIES $96.50. 
The remarkable color range in Ghent Azaleas may be separated as follows: Whites‘ 
Golden Yellow; Orange and Bronze; Rose-pink Salmon-red}; and Scarlet-red. ]

you receive the plants, each will be correctly labeled with the proper names representing the six 
colors mentioned. Because you are letting us make the final selection we are able to make this special

old and are about 144 feet high. Ultimate height varies from about 4 to 6 feet under average soil 
conditions.
