Chugai Hybrids 
A very rare and dwarf race of azalea from Japan, 
with large 3 to 4 inch flowers; in many color varia- 
tions. Mature height is rarely over 12 to 15 inches and 
blooming period is very late; around June in this area. 
Tender when young, but if given some protection they 
will repay you well for the trouble. Small, once trans- 
planted plants with a very heavy root system @ $.75 
each. “The flowers are extremely variable in that the 
large majority of clones have a disconcerting habit of 
producing flowers of several patterns and colors on 
the same plant. It is frequently impracticable to select 
any particular pattern as being characteristic flower 
for purposes of description. In general the flowers are 
single, large, have a white or pink base, some self 
colored and others striped or flaked a different color 
or with different colored margins. Many are frilled’’.

Kurume Azaleas 
Flowers of the Kurume Azaleas are small when com- 
pared to others, but they make up in numbers what 
they lack in size. Specimens in full bloom are often 
so covered with flowers that their leaves cannot be 
seen. Some are single, others are hose-in-hose. Colors 
in Kurume Azaleas are rich and varied; for the most 
part, they are self-colored. Slow growers but in years 
may reach 3 to 4 feet. They are well adapted to forc- 
ing and make showy pot plants.
