A FASCINATING HOBBY 



Growing Azaleas is a hobby which provides an ever increas- 

 ing source of interest. There are so many species to be had 

 and so many almost breath-taking new hybrids being pro- 

 duced, that one is amazed at the magnificent display that 

 we may have with only a small space of ground and a few 

 of the newer plants that are now being offered. If you want 

 a stimulating (and profitable) hobby that grows more inter- 

 esting, beautiful and valuable every year, then grow Azaleas. 



HARDINESS OF PLANTS. When hardiness of plants is 

 mentioned herein it applies only to this section unless other- 

 wise mentioned. 



ALUMINUM SULPHATE 



Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Blueberries, Cornus florida, 

 Heather, Kalmia and many other plants require an acid soil. 

 Acid-forming organic matter, such as well-rotted oak leaves 

 helps to increase acidity. Aluminum Sulphate is a good 

 chemical for increasing soil acidity by using M to V2 pound 

 per square yard. Also used for turning hydrangeas blue. 

 10 lbs. $1.50; 50 lbs. $4.50; 100 lbs. $7.50 



We unhesitatingly recommend "Rootone" as an aid in 

 rooting. We treat every cutting we make with it. This is 

 the greatest recommendation we can give anything. $5.00 per 

 pound, postpaid. 



EMBOSSED ZINC LABELS 



We will make from your list of varieties, Embossed Zinc 

 Labels, V 2 inch wide at 7c each in any quantity desired. 

 These Labels will permanently identify your plants. 



HORTICULTURAL PEAT MOSS 



Very fine, clear, highly absorbent. Burlapped bales. $4.90 

 each, while present stock is available. This is the kind we 

 use for propagating. 



Air Layering Plants 



You have often wanted to propagate some plants of a 

 scarce or high priced variety but did not have the proper 

 facilities to do it with. With a new outfit we are offering, 

 you can do it yourself, as easily as making an old-fashioned 

 graft. You take a branch of the shrub or tree you wish to 

 graft, (leaving it on the parent plant) girdle the branch or 

 twig, put damp peat moss or damp sphagnum moss around 

 the girdled part and wrap it tightly with this new water- 

 proof plastic (in sheets) and tie it, top and bottom, with 

 rubber bands. Generally within six to eight weeks the twig 

 is rooted ready to pot. It requires no watering or other 

 attention until ready to pot. Complete outfit (enough plastic 

 sheets and rubber bands to make 100 grafts) with complete 

 instructions how to do the grafting, for $5.00 postpaid.
