HARDY JAPANESE AZALEAS 
The following list of Hardy Japanese and Kaempferi 
Azaleas covers probably a larger collection of real 
money-making varieties for the nurserymen and florists 
of the southern half of the United States than any 
other group of plants. All of them are hardy, and all 
are evergreen except a few which lose their leaves in 
the New England States. The color-range is large— 
white, pink, salmon, orange, red, lilac, variegated— 
and the blooming season is an extended one. Some are 
early, some are late—each producing characteristic 
bloom of its own. 
The whole country is tired of evergreens and common 
flowering shrubs alone. Everyone wants bright colors 
early in spring, and something different. What is better 
than this group of Hardy Evergreen Azaleas? Most 
nurserymen in this large section of the country do not 
realize how greatly their trade will be stimulated by 
offering this bright-flowering plant to their customers. 
Azaleas under this heading are not dwarf like Hino- 
degiri or Kurumes, but are fairly fast growers, reaching 
an ultimate height of 10 to 12 feet, and are hardy im all 
parts of New Jersey and even farther north.
