NURSERY SPADES 
It now looks as if nursery spades will again be 
scarce and impossible to get. We have had an order 
in with one manufacturer for over six months and 
have not gotten them yet. We are offering the ones 
we now have as long as they last. 
No. A3M. This is the standard light weight (5% 
Ibs.) nursery spade, 7% in. tapered to 6 in. wide 
at bottom, and 12 inches long; handle has two- 
thirds length (15 in.), straps, turned over steps. 
$6.50 each. 
No. Al3. A heavier (7 lb.) spade than above with 
a 13 in. tapered blade and full length straps. This 
spade is for heavy digging. $8.00 each. 
GROWING GOOD AZALEAS 
Azaleas will grow in full sun or in shade. In the sun you 
will have brighter colors and growth will be shorter. We 
prefer a little shade if convenient. The small pot-grown 
plants should be planted about ten or twelve inches apart 
in a prepared bed consisting of about equal parts of good 
acid soil and pea moss or rotten leaf-mold, with about 
one-half shade. 
Azaleas like acid soil with plenty of peat moss or leaf- 
mold in it. As a fertilizer rotten cow manure, cotton-seed 
meal and tankage are good. Use this in early spring and 
keep well mulched with peat moss or leaf-mold and keep 
the plants well watered during dry weather. 
For scale and red spider use Volck, one to fifty. 
If your soil is not acid enough we suggest you use Alumi- 
num Sulphate. This, we can furnish at 10 lbs. $1.50; 50 Ibs. 
$4.50; 100 ibs. $7.50. 
PAINTED WOOD TREE LABELS WIRED
