Kurume Azaleas 
Almost all florists and growers of pot plants are now 
familiar with the use of Kurume azaleas for pot plants, as 
each year the demand for them has grown tremendously. 
The trade has found these azaleas, which cover with a pro- 
fusion of beautiful flowers when they come into bloom, to 
be very popular pot plants, and also a profitable crop that 
requires very little care or expense. They should be potted 
in a light soil, preferably with some peat mixed in, and 
kept well watered. In a 50 to 60 degree house the plants 
should come into bloom within six weeks to two months. 
In addition to the use of Kurume azaleas for pot plants, 
they are extensively used for landscape work. They are a 
dwarf type of azalea, much hardier than the Indica varie- 
ties, and are very popular in cooler climates.
