ALALEA CUE RE 
Azaleas require an acid soil condition, and thrive 
best in pure peat. Do not add leaf-mold or soil. Dig 
a hole one-third wider than the container and a few 
inches deeper, to insure ample room for an expand- 
ing root system, and fill with peat that has been 
moistened. They must have good drainage. In the 
event of heavy or adobe soil, it is recommended that 
you dig a hole at least twice the depth of the con- 
tainer, and fill with stones or coarse gravel up to the 
level of the peat. 
It is desirable to reset your Azaleas in fresh peat 
every two or three years; preferably just after the 
blooming season. Remove the broken down peat 
with a strong nozzle spray. This can be done easily 
without injury to the plant. 
Top-dress lightly with an Azalea food, containing a 
cotton-seed meal base, three times after the blooming 
season. (May 30, July 15 and September 1) and 
cultivate to a depth of ¥% inch, so as not to disturb the 
surface roots. Use no other fertilizer. 
Azaleas enjoy a semi-shady location, such as that 
afforded by spreading trees or the north side of a 
house. Keep them reasonably moist, but avoid a 
boggy condition. 
A well chosen selection will give consistent bloom 
from January through May. During the remainder of 
the year they make most attractive evergreens. 
Azaleas are very hardy and came unscathed through 
the record breaking frost of 1937, without any special 
protection.
