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 difficult to grow from seeds sown in early 
spring or late autumn, providing one will use the 
care that any fine seed requires. Sow in sand, 
mixed with leaf mold or untreated peat. Trans¬ 
plant into soil that is a bit on the sour side. 
Almost any soil may be made acid enough by 
digging into it hardwood leaves, peat moss, rot¬ 
ten wood, or old sawdust. Tannic acid or alumi¬ 
num sulphate, low-priced chemicals, may also be 
used.
