BELTSVILLE AZALEAS 
The following new azaleas, are very lovely and quite 
improvements over the older well known Kurume Azaleas. 
The flowers are larger and well displayed on heavy 
branched, usually densely growthed plants. 
The fact that Kaempferi, strains were used in making the 
crosses, these azaleas have proven quite hardy too, these 
azaleas even tho’ mostly of compact form, quickly grow to 
fine specimens. They can be occasionally prunned to 
reserve low compact plants and are excellent to use in 
foundation plantings. 
As speciments out where they can develop to large 
plants, they are beautiful. 
GUY YERKES (Tested as no. 135). This is a hybrid obtained 
from corssing Kaempferi X Snow. The plants are profusely 
branched, with large dark glossy green leaves; foliage 
persistent making an attractive garden plant throu- 
ghout the year. The hose-in-hose flowers are 1% to 2%4” 
inches across, and borne in clusters of 3 to 5. They are 
salmon pink in color, opening a dark pink and fading to a 
light pink, being very attractive at all times. The appear- 
ance of the flower _is enhanced by the presence of dark 
pink spots in the throat of the flower. Favorable report for 
hardiness in New England States. Peat Bedded. 3-6" .50, 
6-10" 1.00. 
H. H. HUME (Tested as no. 224). This is a hybrid obtained 
from the cross Indica Alba X Snow. The plant is moderately 
branched, erect-spreading with foliage partially persistent, 
depending on temperatures encountered. The flowers are 
white, with a faintly yellowish throat, hose-in-hose; petals 
moderately broad, 2 inches across. Flowers 2 to 5 per 
cluster. Stamens mostly 5; filaments and style white. Mod- 
eee floriferous. Hardy in New England. Peat Bedded. 
oO O, 
MAJESTIC PINK (Tested as no. 168). This plant was obtained 
from a cross between an unnamed Kaempferi hybrid and 
the variety Snow. The foliage is semi-persistent. Flowers 
are hose-in-hose type, about 1-3/4 inches across, clear 
rose pink, with throat faintly marked with darker pink dots. 
Petals are flat, margins rounded. The plant is semi-erect, 
and requires pinching to promote branching. Peat Bedded. 
3-6" .50, 6-10" 1.00.
