AZALEAS 
Without doubt, Azaleas are the most outstanding flowering plants 
we have in the South. The blooming season is long, if the varieties 
are selected with that feature in view. The list of Azaleas we carry has 
been carefully selected for freeness of bloom, variety of color, char- 
acter of foliage, and habit of growth. We have eliminated the plants 
that show weak growth, poor blooming habits, and poor foliage. 
Perhaps no shrub can be used to greater advantage in landscap- 
ing the garden than Azaleas. They are splendid for foundation plant- 
ing at the base of the home. This is especially true with the smaller 
and slower growing Kurumes. They are exceptionally good in borders 
and beds, or, as accent plants, spotted along evergreen shrubbery 
plantings. 
Indica Azaleas grow very rapidly, making magnificent shrubs and 
cover themselves with blooms in February and March. They grow 
tall and broad. We have seen some plants as much as thirty feet in 
diameter and twenty-five feet high. The Kurumes grow more slowly. 
Their flowers are smaller, but, what they lack in size of flower they 
make up in number. In the blooming season they are simply a mass 
of color. They are becoming better known and much more widely 
used in garden planting.
