The Glenn Dale Azaleas, (1) were bred for hardi- 
ness in this area of changeable climate, and we have 
already noticed the lack of bark rupture and bud kill; 
(2) they were bred for large and varied-colored flowers, 
and certainly have both, for flowers from two to four 
inches across are common, and a few come larger; (3) 
they have been bred for more uses. Their mature 
growth may be 1 or 2 feet or it may be 6 to 8 feet, 
enabling us to use them to advantage in many more 
landscape problems; (4) many gaps have been filled 
in the azalea-blooming period. We may have Glenn 
Dales from the middle of April until June in almost 
a continuous stream of bloom. It is evident if this 
work of Mr. Morrison’s continues, azaleas will be avail- 
able in years to come that we have never dreamed of. 
Try a few of the new releases each year and keep your 
interest with them. We have found, that all Glenn Dale 
Azaleas are hardy after they get some size and have 
become acclimated to your area. Protect and care for 
your young plants, the first winter or two, and they 
will pay you dividends. Read pages 5, 6 and 7 again.
