Abstract: Multiple embodiments of a display-ready carton each include an opening formed in one vertical panel both to display articles within the carton and to permit their removal as desired. The opening preferably extends into the top panel of the carton and includes a removable reinforcing element, more preferably a T-bar, extending across the opening. The carton is preferably formed from corrugated material having a horizontal axis of corrugation in the panel forming the opening and a vertical axis of corrugation in the end panels to structurally rigidify the carton. The carton is preferably the same height as the articles and is more preferably formed from a wrap including the front, back, top and bottom panels and end pieces forming the two end panels.

Abstract: A new and distinct Azalea cultivar is provided that abundantly forms clusters of sturdy double pearl pink hose-in-hose blossoms that commonly retain their attractive appearance even in inclement weather. The dark green and plentiful foliage substantially retains its coloration throughout the winter. The growth habit is dense, well-branched, and naturally mounding. The cultivar exhibits excellent hardiness and is tolerant to wet soils and clay soils.
