AZALEAS 
The Azaleas are without doubt the most beautiful flowering plants in the South. Their season 
of blooming is very long and they are easily grown, if a few cultural suggestions are followed. 
Azaleas thrive in acid soil with plenty of leaf mold, pond muck or peat moss with plenty of 
water in partial shade. Avoid lime or alkaline soil and to correct this, use one and one-half 
pounds of Aluminum Sulphate to one wheelbarrow of soil. 
The Indica group are fast growers and are well adapted to the Gulf Coast. 
The Kurume and Hardy Japanese Azalas will stand much more cold tlian the Indicas and can 
be planted much farther north.
