Knap Hill Azaleas 
The following Azaleas have been propagated from varieties we pur- 
chased from the Knap Hill Nurseries in England in 1948. The plants 
from cuttings made in the Summer of 1951, and now in 2% inch pots, 
are unbranched and from 2 or 3 ins. to perhaps 8 or 9 ins. in height de- 
pending on the variety. Ordinarily we would grow these on for an- 
other year but there have been so many inquiries we decided to make 
them available to any who wish small plants of this type. The price, 
$2.50 each. Ready to ship about May 1. 
The ratings given are our own and not A.R.S. ratings. However, they

When we obtained the named varieties listed above, there were in- 
cluded in the shipment from the Knap Hill Nurseries certain plants 
listed as “Miscellaneous Layers”. We have observed these carefully 
and find that two of them are particularly nice. We call these Layer 
No. 3 and Layer No. 5.

per petal has some orange. R. occidentale characters 
in this flower. Flowers large, frilled.
