For 20 years Dr. Morrison and Dr. Close of the USDA Glenn 
Dale Plant Introduction Station have experimented with 
hybridizing Azaleas. Their aim was to produce hardy varieties 
with flowers equal or superior to the florists' Indica 
types and the plants now offered are the result of this work. 
The plants have proved to be entirely hardy in the Washington, 
D. C. area and we believe that they will be equally hardy 
Over a wide area of the country. One great feature of 
these Glenn Dale hybrids is that varieties are, or will be 
available in practically any known shade of color and any 
desired height and with a continuity of bloom from March until 
July. It is hardly possible to make a selection from these 
wonderful hybrids and we are therefore offering the plants 
this season in collections only so that you also can have the 
pleasure of trying them on your nursery.
