CULTURAL INFORMATION ON AZALEAS 
Azaleas of any variety are easily grown if you 
follow a few suggestions on the culture of the 
plants. 
“Soil with an acid reaction is most favorable. Add 
a sufficient amount of leaf-mold or peat moss. 
Poison is produced from a lime or alkaline soil. 
Previous to planting in such soil remove the orig- 
inal soil and add plenty of leaf-mold or peat moss 
mixed with soil which should contain no alkali. 
Sufficient water is necessary to keep the roots 
moist, but do not let them stand in surplus water. 
Draining will be necessary. 
Avoid a dense shade—better results are obtain- 
ed from azaleas growing in partial shade. A lath- 
house is satisfactory. 
You will find that azaleas do not require a great 
deal of commercial fertilizer, if plenty of leaf-mold 
or peat moss has been applied. A light fertilizer, as 
cotton seed meal, is a favorable process. 
In some instances red spider and thrips injure 
the planis; spraying with sulphur will eliminate 
this trouble. 
Azaleas can be moved at any time during the 
year, but we recommend they be moved before 
they come into bloom, that is, September through 
February. In doing this you will have the benefit 
of the flowers the first year. Also the plants will 
have become established in the ground before 
summer heat. 
AZALEA INDICA 
This species of Azalea is a rapid-growing plant 
with masses of large, beautiful flowers. They are 
mostiy adapted for landscape planting and for 
gardening especially along the Gulf Coast extend- 
ing as far up the Atlantic Seaboard as North Car- 
olina. To Mobilians, Azalea Indica is the pride of 
the city. No pruning is required after they are well 
established in their surroundings. It will be one 
plant that will be very complimentary to your 
aurseries and will be an advertisement in itsei..
