4 AZALEA GLEN NURSERIES 
GROWING GOOD AZALEAS 
They will grow in full sun or in the shade, 
the sun brings out the bright colors. Can be used 
as a pot or tub plant. Azaleas want acid soil, and 
they love peat-moss. Use plenty of it when you 
plant out your plants. We use peat-moss leaf-mold 
and cow manure as a mixture in planting our 
azaleas. In the spring we apply an application of 
a good plant fertilizer, keep well watered during 
dry spells. 
If you have red spider or scale on your az- 
aleas, spray with Volck. Using it one to fifty. Red 
spider turns the leaves yellow and red, scale turns 
the leaves and wood a blackish color. 
Camellias are easy to grow, if a few simple 
rules are followed. First, never lift the plants that 
you buy, by the stem, in handling them. Second, 
plant the plants on firm hard ground, so that they 
cannot in later years settle lower in the ground. 
Third, do not plant too deep in the ground, we 
always keep the plant one inch higher then it 
was growing at the nursery. Fourth, leave burlap 
and nails in the ball so the soil will remain firm 
and not crumble. Fifth, have the hole wide enough 
so that you can use plenty of good soil, mixed 
with peat-moss around the plant, water well and 
keep it watered during all dry spells the first year. 
If the leaves turn yellow, end of the branches 
die and the plant set very heavy with buds, you 
have no doubt set your plant too deep in the 
ground, they will have to be lifted and cut back 
about 4 of the plant. 
For scale and red spider spray with Volck. 
One to Fifty, if you have only a light infestation 
of scale, use the Volck one to seventy-five. 
We fertilize our plants early in the spring, 
in June and a light application in the fall. Keep 
the plants well watered.
