AZALEAS 
D URING Azalea blooming-time, which is in February 
and March, Southern gardens are a riot of color. 
There are blooms of the palest pink and the most 
brilliant scarlet; there are shades of red, even to 
the deepest crimson, and vivid tones of flame and orange; 
there are soft lavenders and pure whites that intensify the 
colors of their neighbors. 
Azaleas are easily transplanted and grow readily, pro¬ 
vided certain requirements are met. The plants should have 
an acid soil, either natural muck added to the neutral soil 
or woods-mold secured from beneath hardwood trees. 
After the bed has been prepared, the addition of one-fourth 
to one-half pound of aluminum sulphate per square yard, 
well raked in, will keep the soil in proper condition. Azaleas 
do not prosper in dense shade, but may be shaded for a 
portion of the day. Good drainage is also needed. During hot, 
dry weather they should be watered or syringed frequently. 
Azaleas may be used as specimen or accent plants, set 
in foundation plantings, in the shrub border or in beds by 
themselves. They may be grown successfully from Charles¬ 
ton, S. C., down the coast to central Florida and around 
the Gulf Coast to Texas.
