MOLLIS 
HYBRID 
AZALEAS 
Several years ago we iniported representative varieties of the new Mollis Hybrid 
azaleas. Despite the extremes of heat and cold to which they have been subjected, they 
have thrived and have elicited astonishment and admiration from all who have seen 
them in bloom. Their beauty results from both the color and formation of the blooms. 
The large single flowers, ranging in many shades of yellow, orange, orange-red, and 
rose, are clustered in rhododendron-like trusses which make the plant a mass of spec- 
tacular color, more striking than the popular flame azalea which grows native on many 
hill and mountain slopes of the upper Southeast. 
The Mollis Hybrids are geciduous, and they bloom in May before new leaves 
appear, a characteristic which contributes to the attractive mass-effect of their color. 
Their culture conforms to that prescribed for azaleas as a whole. The plants grow 
tall and sturdy, but since they respond well to pruning, just after blooming, the older, 
taller canes may be cut back about even with the lower growth so:as to obtain a broader, 
bushier plant. They should be spaced not less than 3 feet apart. 
Plants which have their own roots have proved more satisfactory than grafted plants.
