HARDY AZALEAS 
T HAS been our pleasure over the years to develop and introduce to 
our patrons many new and outstanding Azaleas. Some are dwarf and 
because of their modified character are very suitable for rockeries; 
others are of compact, medium growth, which permits them to blend in 
well with other evergreen shrubs in foundation plantings, adding zest and 
life to what so often appears drab. The last group, being deciduous, may 
be used as a border, and it ts possible by careful selection of varieties to 
have them blooming from April through July. 
For brilliant coloring, profusion of bloom and versatility of use, there 
are few, if any, shrubs that can rival the Azalea family and its many 
members. 
DECIDUOUS AZALEAS 
The following varieties when in bloom are one mass of color, varying in softness 
according to variety. Growing to a height of 3 to 4 feet, they make ideal subjects to 
intermingle with rhododendrons, under large trees, or in a border by themselves. Before 
dropping their leaves in the late fall, they offer a fine display of autumn coloring. AZALEA ALTACLARENSE 
For cultural requirements, see Rhododendrons, 



























Altaclarense. This is considered the 
finest orange-yellow Azalea in existence.

open to a fimal glorious pure yellow.
