of these PENNSYLVANIA CREATIONS 
Perkie GABLE AZALEAS 
Joseph B. Gable of Pennsylvania is the 
originator of this family of hybrid azaleas. 
He has devoted a lifetime to developing hardy 
strains to withstand the freezing and thawing 
of our most changeable winters. Mr. Gable 
began his experiments in hybridizing shortly 
after his discharge from the Army in 1918. 
Many of his creations are to be found in the 
famous gardens of the world. While we are 
offering only a few Gable azaleas at this time, 
we anticipate increasing the list in the future.
