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- 
tion with Azaleas in order to make the soil spongy.
