Culture 
Azaleas require an acid soil condition and 
thrive best in pure imported European peat. 
Dig a generous hole to insure ample room 
for an expanding root system, and fill with 
peat which has been thoroughly water-soak¬ 
ed. Top dress lightly with cotton-seed meal 
once every six weeks during growing season 
(May : October), and cultivate same to a depth 
of about one-half inch so as not to disturb 
the surface roots. Use no other fertilizer.'It is 
advisable to reset plants in fresh peat every 
second year at end of the blooming season, 
when they can be easily and safely moved. 
They enjoy a semi-shady location, such as 
that afforded by the north side of a building 
or spreading trees, and must not be allowed 
to dry out. 
• A well-chosen selection will give consist¬ 
ent bloom from February through April; dur¬ 
ing the remainder of the year they make 
attractive evergreens. They are very hardy 
and came unscathed through the 1937 rec¬ 
ord-breaking freeze without any protection.
