AZALEAS 
A few cultural suggestions: 
1. Azaleas thrive in acid soil. Use plenty of leaf 
mold (oak leaves most desirable), pond muck or 
peat moss. 
2. Lime or alkaline soil is poisonous. In case 
the Azaleas are to be planted in such a soil, remove 
original soil and use plenty of leaf mold or peat 
moss mixed with the other soil which should con- 
tuin no alkali; or if alkaline apply Aluminum Sul- 
phate at the rate of one 4 inch pot full to a whecl- 
barrow of soil. 
3. As the azalea root system is very shallow, it 
dries fast. Apply sufficient water to keep roots 
moist always. 
4, Azaleas delight in a moist soil but it will 
not tolerate a water saturated soil condition; so 
Azalea beds should be made where all surplus water 
will run off quickly. 
5. Azaleas thrive best in partial shade (when 
the bush grows larger it will stand the full sun- 
light) but many good blossoms cannot be expected 
if the bushes are planted under complete shade. 
6. The Azalea is not a gross feeder. If plenty 
of leaf mold or like organic matter is applied, it 
does not require any commercial fertilizer. On 
the contrary, very often a heavy application of 
fertilizer injures the root system. However, if 
necessary a light application of well rotted cow ma- 
nure, sheep manure or commercial fertilizers such 
as Vigoro is beneficial. 
7. Red Spider and Thrips sometimes trouble the 
plants. Frequent spraying of the plants with plain 
water will usually keep this trouble away. If this 
does not work, spray or dust the plant with a sul- 
phur mixture.
