ROSEBUD, XXXX 
We are convinced that this Azalea is one of the 
outstanding commercial varieties of the future. 
It is not often that one can say of any plant 
that it has everything but here indeed is one 
to which this description applies. It has a 
somewhat dwarf and slow growing habit, with tight, 
compact growth, dark healthy green leaves, some- 
what smaller and longer in shape than Hinodegiri. 
The flowers slowly open over a period of 2 to 3 
weeks, are particularly attractive in the early 
stage when they exactly resemble tightly furled 
miniature pink roses. When fully open, they are 
double and have the same satin-like texture as 
Louise Gable. Rosebud is completely hardy. The 
original stock plant on . Gabdle's nursery, now 
20 years old, has come through winters register- 
ing 28° below zero without damage. We have no 
hesitation in recommending growers in all parts of 
the country to try a few plants, for it is one 
of the most charming--and salable--Azaleas yet seen.

ROSE GREELY. XXX 
) Mr. Gable has been trying for some time to 
produce a really hardy dwarf white Azalea, 
From a block of some 250 second generation 
crosses, Mr, Gable has selected the variety | 
Rose Greely and it would appear to fulfill 
the many exacting requirements Mr. Gable de- 
mands of his new introductions.

A number of GABLE SEEDLINGS are distributed, many 
without. name. Most have been discarded by Mr. Gable because they are 
not hardy and we see no reason to continue propagation of these. Some 
are proving entirely successful in certain areas and growers who find 
them so, will no doubt continue propagation, but to have the records 
straight, we list the varieties which have been discarded by Mr. Gable:
