AZALEAS - 
HIS season we have more Azaleas to offer to our customers than ever before. We 
have increased our production and have more experienced men to work with the 
stock; consequently we can give much better value. We have thousands of these plants 
growing under our sprinkler system, in a mixture of peat and good Semmes, Alabama soil. 
They have wonderful foliage and heavy root systems and should be a good money-maker 
for all pot-plant dealers as well as nurserymen and landscape architects. 
These plants can be moved almost any time during the year but if you want to give 
better satisfaction, and of course make more money selling them, get them early, before 
they start blooming. You will get the benefit of the blooms the first year and you can 
make a better display in your customers’ gardens. 
For nurserymen and growers we have this season over a million Azalea liners to offer. 
To those who have bought them in the past, we need not describe these Azalea liners. We 
root them in the early summer and transplant to our hotbeds in specially prepared soil. 
The beds are covered with sash. We have now installed a very modern heating plant for 
these beds and the plants grow all winter. They are well rooted and branched for spring 
delivery. We usually start shipping the liners about the last week of March. Because of 
the quality of our plants we were not able to fill all orders last season. We urge you to 
order early. 
This year we are growing thousands of our Azaleas in the full sun. They are making 
much better plants and are very bushy. They are much nicer than lathhouse-grown plants. 
These plants are being cultivated with tractors and are watered when necessary, and we 
can assure you that none better are to be found anywhere. We regret that we have only 
small sizes to offer. All that we have grown in the past few years in the open field were 
sold in the season. Although we are very successful in growing these plants in the open 
field, we suggest that you try it in a limited way at first. 
These plants are very easy to grow and if you once use them in your landscaping, 
you will always use them. If you could see the Azaleas in bloom in Mobile County just 
once, you would understand better how to use them in your gardens.
