SEMMES NURSERIES - Semmes, Alabama 
AZALEA INDICA, continued 
GEORGE LINDLEY TABER. Soft lavender-pink, faintly 
streaked darker pink and mottled cerise. A rapid 
grower and resistant to cold. Midseason. 
GLORY OF SUNNINGHILL. Compact grower with shiny 
narrow leaves and vivid orange-red flowers. One of the 
latest to bloom. 
INDICA ALBA. Rather upright grower, with dull-colored, 
hairy leaves and pure white flowers in midseason. Very 
hardy. 
IVERYANA. Similar to Criterion, but has pink stripes on 
pure white instead of the pmk ground of that variety. 
LADY EDITH. Very similar to Criterion, with almost 
identical flowers but more glossy leaves. Blooms late. 
MME. DOMINIQUE. One of the largest Indicas, similar 
in color to Criterion, but of taller growth. Very com- 
pact and blooms almost as late as Macrantha. Excep- 
tionally hardy. 
PHCENICIA. Fast grower with medium-sized leaves and 
large purplish pink flowers. It will probably withstand 
more heat and sun than any other Azalea. 
PRIDE OF DORKING. One of the deepest reds of the 
entire group. Blooms Iate in the season and, while not 
very hardy, is yet one of the best. 
PRIDE OF MOBILE. Fast grower with large leaves; 
similar to Formosa but of lighter color. Some of the 
Jargest and choicest Azaleas in the Mobile section are 
of this variety and were known formerly as “Water- 
melon-pink”’ but we gave it the name “Pride of Mobile”’ 
several years ago, which was immediately adopted by 
all. Plants over 70 years old, standing over 15 feet high, 
smothered by countless beautiful pink flowers, are a sight 
that cannot be equaled by any. Very hardy, fast growth, 
most brilliant color, and profuse midseason bloom make 
this one of the outstandingly good and profitable varie- 
ties for nurserymen and florists to handle. 
PRESIDENT CLAY. Good grower with orange-red flowers 
in midseason. 
PRINCE OF ORANGE. Spreading grower with deep 
orange-red flowers a little after midseason. Very nice. 
SALMON (Lawsal). Known locally as “Daphne Salmon.” 
Midseason bloomer with pleasing salmon-colored me- 
dium-sized flowers. Very hardy. 
VIOLACEA RUBRA. Beautiful shade of wine-red color 
with dark green leaves. 
VITTATA FORTUNEI. Fast, upright grower, with pale- 
colored leaves. White and lavender variegated and light 
lavender flowers mtermixed. Starts blooming in fall 
and continues all winter and spring. 
WILLIAM BULL. Very hardy, upright grower which will 
not grow compact when small, but after a few years 
will assume a nice compact form. Very double orange- 
red flowers which last a long time.
