INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROWING AZALEAS 
1. Provide acid soil, use plenty of leaf mold (Oak leaves most desirable), pond muck or peat moss. 
2. Lime or alkaline soil is poisonous; remove such soil to depth of two feet and fill in with acid soil, about 
one-third each leaf mold, good loam and peat moss. To this, add one four-inch pot of Aluminum Sulphate 
to wheelbarrow of soil. 
3. Keep well watered always; spray foliage often. 
4. Provide good drainage; fill in bottom of bed 10 inches with crushed brick, steel shavings, scrap iron, old 
bones, etc. 
5. Fertilize lightly, or not at all, using Vigoro or wel] decayed cow lot fertilizer in small amounts. 
HARDY JAPANESE AZALEAS 
All of the Hardy Japanese Azaleas listed below are 
hardy, and all evergreen except for a few which lose 
their leaves in the New England States. They are 
fairly fast growers, reaching an ultimate height of 10 
to 12 feet and hardy to New Jersey. These are the 
hardiest of the Azaleas. 
1370—AMOENA: One of the hardiest, compact grow- 
ers, with small leaves and rather small rosy pur- 
ple hose-in-hose flowers. Can stand a great deal 
of neglect. 
1371—FLAME: Bright orange-red flowers early in sea- 
son. This is one of the best of this group. Very 
showy, with good foliage. 
1372—LILACINA: Delicate lilac shade of orchid—the 
color of the eastern sky at dawn. Strong grower 
with large leaves. 
1373—MACRANTHA DOUBLE: Of the Macrantha type 
having double pink flowers of good size. Late 
blooming; very hardy. Becoming more popular 
each year. 
PRICES ON ALL HARDY JAPANESE AZALEAS: 
8-10” plants with buds, 89c each; 10 for $7.50. 
INDICA AZALEAS 
The Indica Azaleas are fast growers, having masses of large flowers and are especially adapted for land- 
scape planting in the South. The Indicas are not quite as hardy as the Kurumes or Hardy Japanese types, but 
the beauty of the Indicas and their other merits make them a very popular type of Azalea. 
1381—ELEGANS: Light pink. Heavy foliage, fast- 
growing, well-shaped plant. Early bloomer. 
1382—FORMOSA: Large purple flowers. Large, thick 
foliage. One of the fastest growers of all the 
Indica Azaleas. 
1383—INDICA ALBA: Pure white. Light green, hairy 
foliage. Upright grower. Mid-season bloomer. 
Very hardy. 
1384—PRIDE OF DORKING: One of the deepest reds 
of the entire group. Blooms late in the season, 
and while not very hardy, is yet one of the best. 
1385—PRIDE OF MOBILE: Beautiful watermelon-pink. 
Probably the most popular of all the Indica 
Azaleas. Large foliage; fast grower, similar to 
that of Formosa. The blooms so completely cover 
the plants at the height of the season that 
scarcely a leaf is to be seen. 
PRICES ON ALL INDICA AZALEAS: 8-10’ plants 
with buds, 89c each; 10 for $7.50. 
KURUME AZALEAS 
This group, known botanically as Azalea obtusa japonica, includes varieties that are more dwarf in their 
habit of growth and not quite so hardy as the Hardy Japanese group, but more hardy than the Indicas. The 
Kurumes, for the most part, will stand the winters of the Southern States without protection and farther 
North with protection in the Winter months. This is the Azalea offered by the florists as pot plants. 
1375—CHRISTMAS CHEER: Compact grower with 
small, shiny leaves. The flowers of deepest crim- 
son are small, but very attractive. One of the 
best varieties, 
1376—CORAL BELLS: Compact grower with small, 
round, glossy leaves. The dainty, bell-shaped, 
pink flowers are not large, but it is a very 
profuse bloomer and one of the most popular 
varieties with florists. 
1377—HINODEGIRI: Slow, compact, grower, but its 
fiery red flowers will literally smother the en- 
tire plant, even when they are very small, mak- 
ing it one of the most desirable pot-plants as 
well as specimen for landscape planting. 
1378—SNOW: Good-sized, hose-in-hose flowers of pur- 
est white among beautiful glossy leaves. Liked 
by all. 
PRICES ON ALL KURUME AZALEAS: 6-8” plants 
with buds, $1.39 each; 10 for $12.50. 
CAMELLIAS (Camellia japonica) 
Also known as “Japonica” in the South. Similar 
in climatic and soil requirements to Azaleas. Flowers 
of great beauty; fully double. 
1390—ALBA PLENA: Snowy-white, very double, good 
sized flowers. One of the best and most widely 
known japonicas. 
1392—PINK PERFECTION: Very double, clear shell- 
pink flowers of dainty form, liked by many. 
The plants start blooming when very young, 
coming early in the season and continuing in 
profusion for a long time. 
1393—POPE PIUS: Large deep vermillion-red blooms 
are carried from midseason until very late. A 
free-blooming, strong-growing plant. 
1395—SARAH FROST: One of the most common and 
hardiest of Camellias, always gives some flow- 
ers. Rose-pink, of medium size. Very compact 
growing plant. 
PRICES ON ALL CAMELLIAS JAPONICAS: 12-18” 
lath-house grown plants, each $1.79; 10 for $15.95. 
CAMELLIA SASANQUA 
One of the newer and finest of all the broad-leaved 
evergreens. Similar to Camellia japonica, but looser 
and faster growing. Very profuse bloomers, the flow- 
ers commencing to open the latter part of September 
and continuing on through November—a time when 
very few flowers can be had, The Sasanquas are very 
hardy and can be grown without protection as far 
north as North Carolina. 
1396—-DAWN: (Akebono). 
Flowers large, single to 
semi-double, ivory-white changing to flesh-pink 
at the margin of the petals. Extremely hardy 
and blooms continue long after other Sasanquas 
are over. A fine new addition to our stock. 
1397—NEGISHEKO: Flowers very large, single, deep 
pink and very showy. Strong, upright grower 
with dark glossy foliage. 
PRICES ON CAMELLIA SASANQUAS: 18-24” plants, 
each $1.79; 10 for $15.95.

1400—ARBORVITAE, AMERICAN: (Thuja _ occiden- 
talis). The American Arborvitae is the mother

work. Growth is bushy at the bottom, tapering
