will aid in eradicating these pests, as also will a spray 
of sulpho-tobacco soap. 
A well-fed, well-tended and well-pruned Azalea need 
never grow scraggy and misshapen with age, but should 
become more beautiful every year, as its increasing 
spread of branches gives room for the display of my¬ 
riads more of flowers. Those who grow Azaleas in 
the house should remember that the flowers will last 
much longer if the plants are kept in a cool room after 
they have expanded.
