Azaleas, representing 140 different varieties, 700 flowering cherries and 150 eastern dogwoods. Plantings are being 
arranged on both sides of the sixteen-foot grass path which passes north and south through the Arboretum for a 
distance of three-quarters of a mile, joining Rhododendron Glen at its south end. 
At the head of Rhododendron Glen, on a hilly plot above Azalea Way, the camellia gardens have been established. 
Already planted there is the Mrs. George T. Williams memorial collection of some two hundred varieties. 
The long growing season so characteristic of the Puget Sound country, provides the University of Washington 
Arboretum with year-round color. Here one can see that Pacific Northwest phenomenon, the dogwood tree that 
bears a mantle of blossoms in spring and autumn. January sees the white, pink and red of the camellia japonica 
and camellia susanqua, the lavender of Mediterranean heather in the rock garden, the yellow of winter jasmine, 
and the lavender-pink of the Korean rhododendron. 
In February the rhododendron begins adding its colors to the landscape, along with the daphne and the winter 
honeysuckle, and March brings out the Japanese quince, the trailing arbutus, the flowering cherries, and some 
ten additional species of the State flower, including species R. calophytum, R. ciliatum, R. cyanocarpum, R. far- 
gest, R. moupinense, R. oreodoxa, R. scabrifolium, R. rubiginosum, R. praevernum and R. sutchwenense. 
When April comes, the camellias and rhododendrons are blooming in such abundance against a background of 
cherry blossoms that special showings are held, attracting visitors by the thousands. Azaleas and Azalea Way are 
at their peak of beauty in May, while elsewhere in the Arboretum dogwood is prolific, and broom, deutzia, laburnum, 
lilacs, spirea, weigela and flowering fruits give the area a spectacular beauty. 
July and August see the Abelia, mountain laurel, honeysuckle, mock orange, roses, tamarix, shrubby veronica, 
oceanspray, hydrangea and other blooms, including some late-flowering magnolias. By September the Rose of 
Sharon is seen along the boulevard, and fruits on native and exotic plants dot the Arboretum area with white, red, 
orange and blue. Autumn foliage, berries and fruits abound into November, and leading into the Christmas season, 
the sasanqua camellia shows its white and pink blooms in the camellia garden. 
Visitors are welcome in all parts of the University of Washington Arboretum and the greenhouses and nurseries, 
where, as the program continues and the gardens take on the authority of age, the floriculture, arboriculture and 
horticulture of the temperate zone will find one of their finest laboratories.

POT DAHLIA 
First Time on the Market for Home Forcing 
JOYFUL 
This single dahlia, looking like a graceful small daisy, 
and measuring no more than an inch or, at most, an 
inch and a quarter across its perky gay bloom, has never 
been offered to the public before. We feel very proud 
to present it to you. This little dahlia will give you a 
wealth of bright, rich clear Holiday red flowers on stems 
that are long for the relative size of the plant and bloom. 
It is a profuse bloomer and forms a compact bushy 
plant from 10 to 12 inches high. Later, the roots may be 
harvested for pot growing next year. It is better to plant 
2 roots in a 6-inch pot for the maximum color and effect. 
Roots, $3.00 each; 2 for $5.50.
