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 lux- 
uriantly. We have thousands of plants with which 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 section mulch heavily with 
peat, woods mold, or pine needles, keep grass and weeds 
pulled, not hoed; and the plants abundantly watered as 
they require plenty of moisture, especially during hot 
weather. Partial-shade is good- fer-them.-Fertilizer- should 
be used sparingly according to manufacturer's directions. 
We can supply special Azalea fertilizer, Agrico for 
Broad-Leaved Evergreens at $5.50 per 100 lbs. or $2.10 per 
25 lb.; and Peat Moss at $5.75 per bale.
