name from the Japanese city, Kurume, on the 
island of Kyushu, located about 800 miles

fusion. Kurume azaleas are hardy in this 
clmmate and bear abundant blooms in May, 
ranging in color from the purest white through 
pink, salmon and orchid shades to the bright- 
est of reds. They prefer acid soil and plenty 
of moisture, particularly durmg the blooming 
period.

Perkie AZALEA MOLLIS (above) 
Some of our most valuable azalea varieties 
have been obtained by crossing the Chinese 
Mollis azaleas with other species and our 
native types. The foliage begins to grow at 
about the same time the blooms appear. 
These range in color through exquisite 
shades of yellow, orange, lemon, salmon and 
terra-cotta. Although deciduous, they are 
worthy of an Important place in your garden. 
They do well in full sun. Unlike most other 
azaleas, they are not insistent on acid soil; 
however, do not use lime.
