is found in northwestern Florida to Central 
Georgia. Flame is the usual color, but some

sired. We highly recommend this Azalea. 
A. alabamensis. A highly fragrant and 
very scarce native Azalea. White or white 
with yellow spot. Very desirable.

to the Carolmas, but fairly well adapted

native Azaleas and is found throughout 
southern Georgia and northern Florida, 
growing on moist but well-drained soil.

other native Azaleas.

large flowers in varying shades of pink. 

KALMIA latifolia (Mountain Laurel).

greens. In mid-spring It is covered with 
clusters of small pinkish white blos- 
soms, and the foliage is narrow and 
glossy green. 12 to 18 in., $1.50 each; 
18 to 24 in., $2.50 each. 



Some of the loveliest colors in 
Azaleas are found mour hardy native 
deciduous varieties. For years we 
have diligently collected the fier 
types, cut them back and grown them 
over into select, stocky plants which 
are far superior to those usually 
offered direct from the woods. 
In Baker County, Georgia, we 
collected a yellow form of Azalea 
austrina which is rare, and in extreme 
southwestern Georgia and southeast- 
ern Alabama we secured the best 
types of the highly fragrant A. 
alabamensis. In Middle Georgia 
we have collected good types of A. 
austrina, A. speciosa and some 
A. calendulacea. Native Azaleas are 
perfectly hardy, and they bloom late, 
extending the flowering season far 
into April. They should find a 
place in every Azalea garden.
