AZALEAS 
Azaleas are the specialty of Tankard Nurseries. 
The soil of the Eastern Shore of Virginia is naturally loamy and 
acid, the climate mild, and Azaleas grow luxurianidy. We have many 
thousands of plants wiih wnaich to fill your orders. 
When planting your Azaleas in soil that is not of this type, be sure 
to prepare soil beds for them, consisting of 1/3 good garden topsoil, 
1/3 sand, and 1/3 peat moss or woods mold, well mixed. In any sec- 
ticn mulch heavily with peat, woods mold, or pine needles, keep 
grass and weeds pulled, not hoed; and the plants abundanily waier- 
ed as they require plenty of moisture, especially during hot weather. 
Partial shade is good for them. Fertilizer should be used sparingly 
according to manufacturer's directions. 
We can supply special Azalea fertilizer, Agrico for Broad-Leaved 
Evergreens at $5.00 per 100 lbs.; and Peat Moss at $7.00 per bale.
