INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROWING AZALEAS 
1. Provide acid soil, use plenty of leaf mold (oak leaves most desirable), 
pond muck or peat moss. 
2. Lime or alkaline soil is poisonous; remove such soil to depth of two 
feet and fill in with acid soil, about one-third each leaf mold, good 
loam and peat moss. To this, add one 4-inch pot of Alluminum Sul¬ 
phate to wheelbarrow of soil. 
3. Keep well watered always; spray foliage often. 
4. Provide good drainage; fill in bottom of bed 10 inches with crushed 
brick, steel shavings, scrap iron, old bones, etc. 
5. Fertilize lightly, or not at all, using Vigoro or well decayed cow lot 
fertilizer in small amounts.
