Imported Large Flowering Strain — Our 
Holland grower is renowned for his 
superior strain of hardy Azalea Mollis. 
Many years of patient hybridizing and 
careful cutting resulted in wonderful 
pastel shades unequalled in brilliance 
and variety of colors by any other shrub. 
Their uses are almost unlimited as they 
work in borders, foundation plantings or 
planted in bold groups for masses of 
color, Plants withstand zero tempera- 
tures, growing well in Chicago, Detroit, 
and Des Moines, Iowa, They thrive in 
good garden soil and full sunlight or 
partial shade.*We recommend mixing 
soils liberally with peat or rotted manure 
(see peat moss, page 10 in catalog). Also 
remove the fading flowers so plants do 
not seed, for heavy setting of bloom buds. 
Do not cultivate deeply as azaleas root 
close to surface. Acid soil is not necessary 
to grow Azalea Mollis but an occasional 
feeding with manure and acid peat will 
reward gardeners richly for the little 
extra care. The compact, round-shaped 
plants grow 3 to 4 ft. tall and bloom 
through May and June in such profusion 
the clusters completely cover the entire 
bush. Very superior to ordinary Azalea 
Mollis. Bushy plants about 1 ft. tall and 
broad with 6 to 12 canes set with bloom 
buds to flower in your garden this spring.
