CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR AZALEAS 
AND RHODODENDRONS 
These shrubs all want a loose porous soil with much peat 
or leafmold. Clay soil is not suitable and must be altered by 
generous amounts of peat, even additions of sand, decaying 
wood, fir needles, etc., will be beneficial. Plant shallow; do 
not pack soil hard, and mulch freely with grass clippings in 
summer to preserve moisture in soil, as they resent drying 
out at any time. Full sun and partial shade will agree with 
them. Applications of old manure, or ammonium sulphate in 
small amounts of 1 tablespoonful per plant, will help if growth 
is poor. Planting or transplanting may be done any time, 
as they do not suffer from such moving if kept moist after¬ 
ward. Spraying of foliage at night is very beneficial during 
dry warm weather. Pruning, while rarely needed, can be done 
with good results any time but best right after flowering. 
These simple rules will insure success without fail.
