How To Treat The Soil For Azaleas 
and Rhododendrons 
Rhododendrons and Azaleas require an 
acid soil. For best results, plant in a mix- 
ture of three parts leaf mould or Holland 
Peat to one part soil. In limestone local- 
ities one pound aluminum sulphate to each 
square yard of surface broadcast Spring 
and Fall, will prove beneficial in acidify- 
ing the soil. 
The Rhododendrons we list are nursery- 
grown, and acclimated, and have had the 
benefit of careful transplanting by which 
they have gained root systems which will 
cause them to make better growth than 
collected plants. 
AZALEAS 
Few flowering plants can excel the Azaleas for all 
around usefulness. They make a most brilliant color 
display, either singly or in groups, and can be used 
to good- advantage in brightening the foundation 
planting, doing well among other evergreens.
