ilitate finding what you want. It is just as easy as A. 
B. C. — as each family group is listed in this order, 
and the many varieties appear under the same listing. 
This is a change from the groups we formerly used, 
and in making this change we trust it will save time 
in finding the listings on the items that you select.

AZALEA 
With their Evergreen foliage, and Gorgeous Blooms 
in the early Spring Season, no planting is considered 
complete without them. 
HOW TO CULTIVATE AZALEAS 
Mulching with decayed leaves, preferably those of 
hardwood trees, is a distinct advantage. Peat is also 
a splendid mulch for Azalea beds, as it retains the 
moisture. Applications of aluminum sulphate may be 
necessary when leaves become yellow, which indicates 
that the soil has become impregnated with lime. 
All Azaleas require an Acid Soil, hence Leaf-Mold 
or Peat Moss for Mulching the roots should be added 
over the surface of the Plant Beds. Lime and Alkali 
conditions of soil require Se preparation with 
new Acid soil. 
PLANT LOVELY AZALEAS
