From the 
WILDERNESSES of t4e WORLD 
for EVERYONE @e Eujoy! 
From the high mountains of Korea, Man- 
churia and the eastern part of North America, 
come most of our wild azaleas, although one ts 
a native of Europe. Some are evergreen and 
others deciduous; all are valuable garden 
additions. 
ARBORESCENS (Tree Azalea). Large flowers 
are white or flushed with pmk and very fra- 
grant. Blooms in June, about two or three 
weeks earlier than Azalea viscosa. Very hardy; 
grows best on high ground. 
CALENDULACEA (Flame Azalea). The most 
brilliantly colored and most dazzling of native 
types, with clusters of yellow-orange and 
orange-scarlet flowers. When used in masses 
in a naturalistic garden or in the border, they 
bring a color note in late May and early June 
long to be remembered. Will grow on dry 
banks, exposed to the sun. Often called the 
most beautiful of all azaleas. 
NUDIFLORA (Pinxter Bloom). The delicate 
pink, fragrant flowers are known to everyone 
who has.roamed the countryside in the spring. 
This ¥er{ Wardy dative yor the Appalachian 
Mountains and foothills is most effective when 
planted in masses. See illustration below. 
VASEYI (Seashell Azalea). Unexcelled for the 
beauty of its exquisite clear pink flowers. Very 
hardy; desirable for colder regions. Delights 
in a moist, well-drained location. Blooms in 
early May. 
VISCOSA (Swamp Azalea). This variety will 
give you great masses of fragrant white 
flowers in June and July, long after other 
azaleas"have cersedyteybloom. As indicated by 
the ndmemit-préfers’amoist location. There 
are few more pleasant fragrances than the 
delicate aroma of Azalea viscosa. 
MUGRONULATUM. From far-off Korea, this 
is the first of the hardy azaleas to bloom in 
early April. Blossoms appear at the same time 
as forsythia and shadbush. Lavender-pmk 
flowers make it almost as much of a favorite 
as the thrilling combination of the lavender 
of the redbud and the white of the dogwood, 
which follow later. 
POUKHANENSE. The wild azalea of South 
Korea. Quite hardy throughout the United 
States. Grows into a fine compact shrub. 
Abundant flowers appear in early midseason, 
in lovely shades of lilac-purple. Persistent- 
leaved, but not an entirely evergreen species. 
Of spreading habit, with strong healthy 
branches and large numbers of flowers. 
Azalea nudiflora 
SCHLIPPENBACHI. Native of Korea and 
Manchuria, popularly known as the Royal 
Azalea. Impatient to parade its fragile pink 
blossoms, it is one of the first to burst into 
color each May. Its large flowers are among 
the most delicate in the entire azalea family. 
Single flowers measure 2 to 4 inches. Fragrant. 
Known to reach a height of 10 feet. Schlippen- 
bachi requires little care and grows best in 
high or semi-shade; medium or acid _ soil. 
Dislikes hot sun. An ideal shrub for borders or 
for a Perkie accent in border plantings. 
INDICA ALBA (Mucronatum). Sometimes 
called the Snow Azalea; has been in cultivation 
in Japan over 300 years. Spreading, medium 
to tall in height, with 3-inch, pure white, single 
flowers and delicate fragrance. Hardy on the 
east coast to Long Island; also known as Ledi- 
folia Alba. 
WILHELMINA. Medium height. Flowers 2/% 
inches across, white with a touch of chartreuse.
