To Grow Azaleas Successfully — If your soil is not 

 acid or sour you cannot grow Azaleas properly. 

 Aluminum Sulphate can be used to change your 

 soil to an acid reaction and should be broadcast 

 over the surface at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds to 

 each square yard of ground area. Imported Gran- 

 ulated Peat Moss should also be used in connec-
