EXBURY AZALEAS 
The late Lionel de Rothschild was one of the world’s 
great gardeners. He was a discerning plantsman and his 
collections of species and hybrids reflect a keen taste 
for plant material of genuine garden merit. When he 
commenced his work with deciduous Azaleas, Mr. de 
Rothschild chose to begin with the best and consequently 
purchased the choicest varieties of the Knaphill strain 
from Mr. Anthony Waterer. After years of intensive 
hybridization and careful selection, Mr. de Rothschild 
developed what is now called the Exbury Strain. He was

relentless in his selection and consigned thousands of 
azaleas to the bonfire since he never kept a seedling 
unless it showed marked improvement over its parent 
stock. His years of patient labor have resulted in a group 
of Azaleas with a tremendous variety of color ranging 
from pure white, softer pastel shades, to the fiery reds, 
oranges, and deep yellows. The flowers are immeasurably 
superior to existing deciduous azaleas and have broad 
petals giving them a square look and some of them 
measure 4 inches or more across. They are quite hardy 
and will stand below zero temperatures. 
The following varieties are on their own roots. They 
are the result of careful hand pollination of selected 
varieties which are known to come remarkably constant 
from seed. In each instance the description is that of the 
parent plant. These plants have been selected and grown 
under the supervision of Mr. Edmund de Rothschild at 
Exbury and you may rest asssured that every precaution 
has been taken to supply only the best forms. 
CULTURE: Plant them shallow in a loose well drained soil which has been given a 
liberal dressing of leaf mold and peat moss. Water them freely during the 
growing season and mulch with some loose humusy material such as peat 
or decaying leaves. While they may be grown in full sun, the flowers will last 
longer if the plants are given the benefit of light overhead shade. Be sure
