WHAT YOU SHOULD DO TO GROW AZALEAS AND CAMELLIAS SUCCESSFULLY 
In preparing the soil for an Azalea garden first remove all weeds and surface growth from the 
area which you have selected. Then remove enough soil to accommodate the following mixture— 
6 inches of muck from a fresh-water pond; a 2-inch layer of dairy fertilizers ; a 2-inch layer of peat 
moss or sawdust (preferably cypress) ; an application of 20 per cent Acid Phosphate. These in- 
gredients should be thoroughly incorporated with 6 inches of original soil to make an ideal soil 
mixture. If the location is inclined to be wet, raise the beds where the plants are to be located 
so that they are at least 1 foot above the original level of the land. 
In setting out Camellias and Azaleas remember that they must be planted so that the sur- 
face roots are level with the surrounding soil. Pack the roots firmly by stamping the ground; 
water liberally just after planting. Then mulch the entire area with 2 inches of oak leaves 
or an inch of peat moss. One thorough watering each week is usually sufficient. If artesian 
water is used it should be applied with a sprinkler which aerates the water before it enters 
the soil; thus the injurious minerals are allowed to evaporate. Keep your newly planted garden 
free of weeds. An application of ‘Azalea Special’ Fertilizer in March and June is sufficient to 
keep your plants in vigorous condition.
