AZALEAS are “tops” among the flowering 
shrubs and are not as difficult to grow as 
most people believe. A location .protected 
from dry winds such as the east side of a 
building, partial shade, plenty of peat and 
mildly acid soil, will satisfy the hardy kinds 
listed. Most varieties grown in the South 
and East are not hardy here and not adaptable 
to Iowa soil.

before the leaves. Will bloom first season

other azaleas.
