Wand/5 w ATTORNEYS United States Patent "ice 2,248 AZALEA PLANT Taken Yuge and Kanji K. Yuge, both of 177 E. Mariposa St., Altadena, Calif. Filed Feb. 20, 1961, Ser. No. 90,619 1 Claim. (Cl. 47-60) This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of azalea plant characterized particularly by its early and extended blooming season and its bright red flowers with orange undertones which are produced profusely on a plant of fine, uniformly compact growth habit. The present variety commences blooming in September and is heavily in bloom in December in southern California without forcing or heating. Blooming continues through March with flowers that are long lasting with no fading or color change as the flowers age. Each of the flowers will last at least three weeks with each bud blossoming into two to five separate flowers.
This variety of azalea plant was produced in the experimental garden of the applicants nursery at Altadena, California; the variety being the result of a cross between a Belgian semi-double unpatented variety known as Miss Cottage Gardens and a Belgian Indica azalea being a selected double seedling of the inventors known as Kaho, a variety which is unpatented. This cross pollination was carried out in the applicants nursery at Altadena, California, in February 1950, the seeds resulting from the cross pollination were collected in November 1950 and planted in March 1951. The seedlings produced in this manner were observed over an extended period of time and this particular variety was selected and segregated.
Upon the cross being recognized as novel, and particularly when the extended and early blooming season of the variety Was found, it was taken for propagation by cuttings at the aforesaid nursery in Altadena, California, and such cuttings produced azalea plants which carried forward all of the new and distinct features of the subject original plant. Subsequent propagation of the variety by cuttings further evidenced that the variety is fixed in its floricultural characteristics.
In the accompanying illustration:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view showing the flowers in bloom; and
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a stem, with leaves and flowers.
Referring now more specifically to the botanical details of the new and distinct variety of azalea plant of the present invention, the following is an outline description of the same:
Plant Form: Many branched, rounded, symmetrical form.
Growing habit: Dense and bushy with heavy dark green foliage. The rate of growth is rapid and more rapid than most prior Belgian varieties.
