AZALEAS IN SUMMER. 



"C. B." says: "Kindly tell me the best 

 way ot keeping azaleas during the sun- 

 nier months." 



Large growers find that planting them 

 out in a light rich soil saves much labor 

 and the azaleas make a good growth. 

 They are usually planted out end of May 

 and lifted end of September. For a few 

 plants I would recommend the following 

 treatment: See that all the old flowers 

 are picked off and the seed pods, which 

 often adhere firmly to the plant. Cut 

 back any straggling shoots and after the 

 flowering is done grow them as warm as 

 you can; that is encourage growth by 

 heat and moisture for the growth they 

 make in May and June is what will pro- 

 duce flowers for next year. Early in June 

 plunge the azaleas in the open ground 

 without removing from the pot and never 

 let them get dry. They will want a good 

 watering at least once every day, and a 

 good syringing of their foliage in dry 

 weather is most beneficial. Don't plunge 

 them in the shade; let them have the full 

 rays of the sun. Remove Jo the house 

 before any danger of frost. W. Scott.
