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. tase ee
