KURUME AZALEAS 
The popular type for massed-color bed- 
ding, since the characteristically medium- 
sized single or semi-double blooms tend 
to open over the entire plant at once, af- 
fording a breath-taking sight. The bloom- 
ing season is shorter for this reason, than 
that of the Hybrid Indicas, but more defi- 
nite and dependable. Plant habit is gen- 
erally open, but bushy, and semi-dwarf.

The many species of Azaleas have been so popular as shade-garden and pot-plant F 
subjects for so long in Japan, portions of Europe, and in the Southern United States, ; 
that innumerable hybrids and named varieties have been developed, making it difficult _ 
to properly group those sorts which are considered best today. However, the follow- © 
ing two major classes will aid the garden-lover in making his selection. 
HYBRID INDICA AZALEAS ‘he 
Characteristically large flowers, usually loosely double, the petals more or less 
waved and frilled. Growth is vigorous but compact, although the plants will attain 
large size (up to 10 feet) with time. The blooming period extends over most of the 
year, although it is heaviest in early spring. These have always been the most popular % 
Azaleas for pot plants, and are greatly increasing in popularity as garden subjects as 
their long, if erratic, blooming season has been realized. mL
