INDICA AZALEAS 
OR spectacular color and greatest profusion of bloom, nothing equals Azaleas, especially the 
Indica varieties, so perfectly adapted for use in the Gulf and Coastal section of the Lower South. 
The hardier varieties, such as Lawsal and Formosa, succeed also farther inland, and many have 
successfully grown Geo. L. Taber, Pride of Mobile and others. 
In woodland areas of parks and private estates around Thomasville, as well as many other Deep 
South communities, Elegans, President Clayes and other tall varieties are extensively used; but these, 
and many others that do not grow quite so fast, are being used more and more in foundation plantings 
and as specimen plants. 
From the small-growing varieties like Duc de Rohan and Iveryana, through medium ones such as 
Croemina and Fielder’s White, to the tallest ones, there are so many types and colors that one can 
vary a planting indefinitely by the use of Indica Azaleas alone. Depending on the winter, the season 
is from February to late April. 
Our plants have been given ample space, fertilizing and pruning to make the stockiest plants, all 
set with flower buds. Perhaps one can buy cheaper Azaleas, but if you want the finest we invite you 
to buy them here. Visitors are urged to come and see for themselves. 
Azaleas make a mass of fine roots and transplant easily with a ball of soil, making it possible to 
plant them at all seasons of the year. Some of our varieties, which most nurserymen don’t list at all, 
are in limited supply. Whether you wish to plant in the fall or not, we urge you to order early. Ship- 
ment can be made at any time desired.
