Blue Ribbon Azaleas’ 

Special care is given to growing Coastal Plains Blue Ribbon 
Plants. From the time the cuttings are taken until ready for 
delivery. From the cutting beds the rooted plants are trans- 
planted for the first time to the liner section, during which 
period of growth the young plants are pruned or pinched to 
get several branches started close to the ground. The next 
season finds all the “liners” transplanted for the second time 
to the growing beds and given more room. This transplanting 
is followed by additional pruning to produce stocky, well- 
branched plants that are sure to give satisfaction. 
AZALEAS are easily grown if consideration is given to soil 
requirements. Well drained acid soil, with plenty of humus, 
which tends to conserve moisture is generally ideal, and loca- 
tions giving some sun during the day are preferable to deep 
shade. 
From October on through the blooming season is ideal trans- 
planting time, preference being given to planting before com- 
ing into bloom. All our Azaleas are finished in open ground 
under partial shade of pine trees, and can be transplanted at 
any time throughout the year. 
KURUME AZALEAS as a group are much hardier than the 
Indian varieties. Being smaller-flowered and more compact in 
growth, they first gained popularity as potted plants, but now 
are used extensively in landscaping. Colors are rich and varied 
and blossoms may be single, “hose-in-hose” or double.
