Che World’s Finest 
DECIDUOUS AZALEAS 
A MOLLIS HYBRID AZALEA 
Many garden lovers class these Azaleas at the very top in 
brilliance, range of color, and beauty of flower. In the months of 
April and May, they are a mass of strong colors—red, orange, 
yellow, gold, white, copper, bronze, pink, crimson, mauve, and 
variegated. We have 75 of the finest varieties blooming for 
six to eight weeks. First the Molles, then the Occidentales and 
then the Ghents with the Occidentales still in flower. They like 
sun but in the Mid-West where the air is dry and the sun burn- 
ing, they prefer part shade. They like the same soil as Rhodo- 
dendrons but will stand more exposure. Plant at the same depth 
as they were at the Nursery. It is preferable to remove the seed 
pods after blooming. All large plants are budded, ready for 
spring bloom.

HARDY GHENT HYBRIDS 
Hybridizing of Azaleas started in Ghent, Belgium, in 1825. 
Since then they have been crossed and re-crossed many times to 
form our present varieties. These Pontica Hybrids or hardy 
Ghent Azaleas have a wide variety of strong colors, true and 
variegated. They are red, orange, yellow, light yellow, bronze, 
white, pink, crimson, mauve, purplish red and mixtures of colors. 
Their individual honeysuckle shaped flowers are smaller than 
the Molles and they are later to bloom than the Mollis or Oc- 
cidentalis Hybrids. They are hardy enough for the northern part 
of the United States. All budded, ready for spring bloom.
