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 % pound aluminum sulphate to each 
square yard of surface broadcast Spring 
and Fall, will prove ‘beneficial in acidify- 
ing the scil. 
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.
