Azaleas require an acid soil condition and 
thrive best in pure imported European peat. 
Dig a hole twice the width of the container 
and a few inches deeper to insure ample 
room for an expanding root system, and fill 
with peat which has been thoroughly water- 
soaked. Top dress lightly with a commer¬ 
cial Azalea food containing a cotton-seed 
meal base, once every six weeks during 
growing season (May-October), and culti¬ 
vate 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 be kept consistently moist 
without creating a boggy condition. 
• A well-chosen selection will give consist¬ 
ent bloom from January through May; 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 special 
protection.
