CULTURE 
Azaleas require an acid soil condition and 
thrive best in pure imported European or 
Canadian 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 commercial Azalea food, containing 
a cotton-seed meal base, once every six 
weeks during growing season (May-Octo- 
ber), and cultivate 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, as 
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 reason- 
ably moist without creating a boggy con- 
dition. 
@ 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.
