wisli to plant Azaleas, remove it, digging a large hole 
with plenty of space for roots to spread and about 18 
inches deep, loosening the ground 6 inches deeper 
for good drainage, then fill in with leaf mold mixed 
with dark soil. 
Care should he taken when planting Azaleas, as, 
they should not be planted any deeper than they 
were grov/ing at Nursery; tiie ball of roots being 
covered with no more than one-half inch of soil, 
press soil firmly. After planting, water freely and 
often to keep soil moist until plants are well estab¬ 
lished. A mulch of leaves 2 to 3 inches deep helps 
to hold the moisture and also keeps the sun from 
baking the roots. In dry weather they should be 
watered and syringed at least every other day, for 
this will also keep the I’ed spider off, as, this is the 
ouiy pest troublesome to Azaleas. If the water does 
not control this pest, spray about every other week 
with a solution of Fish Oil Soap and Black Leaf 40 
uitil the plant is free of this insect. 
Azaleas thrive best in a half-shady location but 
will grow in full sunshine, provided they are well- 
mulched and watered. 
Cotton-seed ]\Ieal is a good fertilizer for Azaleas 
and should be applied to plants in the Spring after 
the cold weather is over; but do not fertilize later 
than June. 
If you follow these directions, you will not have 
any trouble to grow AZALEAS with success and
