AZALEAS 
We specialize in the production of high 
quality Azaleas. Our Azaleas can be suc- 
cessfully grown by anyone willing to give 
them a little special attention and extra 
care. 
For the best results with Azaleas, pre- 
pare the soil thoroughly before planting. 
They must have an acid soil to survive. 
Soil may be made acid by adding alumi- 
num sulphate and working well into the 
topsoil. Approximately one-fourth pound 
of aluminum sulphate per square yard of 
soil is usually sufficient. However, we 
think it is much better to replace the soil 
immediately around an Azalea when plant- 
ing. For this purpose, leafmold and the 
top 2 inches of soil from underneath hard- 
wood trees, preferably Oaks, is ideal. If 
humus is needed, peat moss may be mixed 
with the soil. Soil should be about one- 
half humus. Azaleas are not deep rooted 
plants, so should be thoroughly watered 
during dry weather, especially during the 
first year after planting. To be safe, examine them 
twice each week and soak when necessary. 
DECIDUOUS AZALEAS 
These Azaleas are excellent subjects for the wild gar- 
den. They also afford a range of colors not obtainable 
in evergreen Azaleas. Most effective planted in masses 
in combination with Broadleaf Evergreens or Evergreen 
Azaleas. 
CALENDULACEA (Flame Azalea). A native of our 
Carolina mountains. Bears beautiful orange and 
bright gold flowers, as well as yellow and cream colors. 
At its best in May and June. 
MOLLIS (Chinese Azalea). Shades of yellow, terra- 
cotta, apricot, and golden salmon. Blooms in April 
and May. Does best in partial shade. 
NUDIFLORA (Pinxterbloom Azalea). A tall growing 
native Azalea similar to Calendulacea, but having 
delicate pink flowers.

The evergreen Japanese Azaleas. Rich, evergreen 
foliage and masses of colorful flowers make the Kurumes 
probably the most desirable of all Azaleas. Dwarf habit 
and slow growth. 
AMOENA SUPERBA. The dark purple flowers shade 
darker toward the center, while on the outside the 
purple shades to red. Hose-in-hose variety. Foliage 
is small, dark glossy green. Plants are compact and 
bushy.

pact growth. Tall growing. 
BRIDESMAID. Glowing salmon-pink flowers in very 
large clusters. Small, glossy, bright green foliage.

center; medium-sized hose-in-hose flowers profusely 
produced. The plants have small, round, glossy 
foliage.
