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, 
nee one 4 inch pot of Aluminum Sulphate 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 de- 
cayed cow lot fertilizer in small amounts.

HEDGE PLANTS 
The hedge is more than its own excuse for being; it jus- 
tifies its existence in various ways. Around the small yard 
of a cottage or the formal terrace of a city home, the Amur 
River Privet, or Arborvitae can be trimmed and kept in 
scale with the size of the lawn. If there is an ill-kept lot 
adjoining, or the sun room is near the street, then let your 
Amur hedge grow rankly. 
A hedge may serve to shield from view the chicken yard 
or the family wash, or suggest to the children that the play- 
house yard must end where a neighbor’s lawn begins. 
Amur River Privet (L. Amurensis)—Most popular and best 
hedge for the South. Very beautiful evergreen, dense 
in growth, dark in one year. Very hardy and well 
adapted to general planting. Exceedingly beautiful and 
permits shearing to any height or shape.

California Privet—This beautiful hedge plant has a larger leaf 
than Amur Privet, and is very beautiful in summer and 
fall, lending itself admirably to shearing. However, we 
do not consider it as useful for planting in the South 
as Amur River because it loses some of its foliage in 
the winter, whereas, Amur River Privet will look pretty 
the year round.
