HADDOCK’S NURSERY 
RHODODENDRON 
(Azaleas) 
The genus RHODODENDRON correctly came to be known as the 
““KING”’ of ornamentals. Of their virtues books have been written. 
No matter what the situation — a RHODODENDRON ean fill it with 
great satisfaction. 
We are attempting to list our RHODODENDRONS in a way that 
will help the average gardener to buy and plant them for the best perma- 
nent effect. This is particularly desirable because names of hybrids 
today are in the main meaningless. Some of our descriptions do not 
satisfy us. When our experience permits, and we have a color chart 
that our customers can use, we will make appropriate corrections. 
RATING — The relative desirability of the plant is designated by 
the official rating of the American Rhododendron Society, where known. 
The symbol used is a small x. The most desirable plants are rated 
with four x’s — (xxxx). Where the Society ratings are not available, 
we will from time to time rate in accordance with our experience, using 
the large X. 
NAME — The most commonly recognized name is used in this 
listing. 
HARDINESS — The ratings used are those developed by the Ameri- 
can Rhododendron Society. These ratings are based on the minimum 
temperature which the variety may be expected to stand with no 
appreciable injury. 
H-] hardy to—25°F, H-2 hardy to—15°F, H-3 hardy to—5°F, H-4 hardy 
to 5F, H-5 hardy to 15F, H-6 hardy to 25F, H-7 hardy to 32F. Where a 
small (h) is used in place of a capital (iI), no official rating has been 
given, and the rating used represents our experience; in our gardens, 
at our home, 125 Springbrook Drive, Silver Spring, Md. 
All RHODODENDRONS are not hardy in our gardens. We therefore 
propagate and grow our plants in Maryland and Oregon. We will ship 
from the location where the plants you order are available. 
HABIT —It is generally impossible to describe RHODODEN- 
DRON’S bloom in less than twenty-five words. Because of the limited 
space the description of bloom is brief. 
Blooms of a RHODODENDRON seldom last longer than a month 
for any variety. Because we must view the plant for 11 months, we 
consider its habit important.

BOX 603 
SILVER SPRING, MD. 
The height and spread of the plant at ten years age is given on 
the basis of plants grown in our gardens at our home, 125 Springbrook 
Drive, Silver Spring, Md. Since RHODODENDRONS of the same variety 
and age vary in size here when planted in different locations, it can 
be expected that they will vary in other gardens. The size is desig- 
nated thus 4’ x 3’. This means the plant will be 4 feet in height and 
have a 3 foot spread in ten years under very favorable conditions. 
ABBREVIATIONS — A.M. Award of Merit, and F.C.C. First Class 
Certificate — are awards given by the Royal Horticultural Society, 
England. All plants are evergreen unless otherwise noted. 
The following prices are applicable on AZALEAS except as other- 
wise noted. The size of the plant available at the time of this listing 
is shown as the last entry under the description of the plant. For 
example, ANCHORITE (141900) is available in sizes 2, 5 and 6. Sizes 
are designated in height. Where we are out of the size ordered we will 
substitute a smaller size, giving extra plants or refunding difference 
in price, unless you specifically instruct us not to do so.
