28 MALBIS NURSERIES 
Kurume Azaleas 
Kurume Azaleas are among the most popular 
types and are in great demand for borders and rock 
gardens, as well as for potting. Used singly or in 
groups by themselves, or in combinations with 
Indicas and hardy Japanese varieties, they give the 
most pleasing effects for landscaping purposes and 
a range of color that could not otherwise be ob- 
tained. They grow very readily, and though not as 
hardy as the Japanese varieties, will stand more 
cold than the more tender Indicas. They may be 
planted outdoors in almost all sections of the 
southern states, and as far north as New York with 
a little protection. The flowers are smaller than 
the Indica type, but when in bloom there is such a 
profusion of flowers that the plants are frequently 
completely covered, leaving no foliage visible. 
Some varieties produce single flowers and others a 
double flower that is described as the “Hose-in- 
Hose”’ type.
