THE AZALEA 
No plants could possibly be more free blooming 
than the Azaleas, and none brighter than when 
in full glory of spring-tide blossom. They are not 
particularly difficult to grow from seed if one 
will take into consideration the fact that most 
of them like a soil that is just a bit on the sour 
side. Almost any soil may be made acid enough 
by digging into it hardwood leaves, untreated 
peat moss, rotten wood or old sawdust. Tannic 
acid or Aluminum sulphate, low-priced chemi¬ 
cals, may also be used.
