Azaleas 
For breath-taking masses of color there is probably no plant to equal the Azalea. 
In its flowering season, an Azalea plant is covered with a solid sheet of brilliant bloom 
that almost completely conceals the foliage. Given a suitable setting, it can be a thing 
of extraordinary beauty. 

Azaleas require extra care in the preparation of the ground before planting. They 
need a sour soil and plenty of water, although they resent soggy ground. Land that is 
naturally sweet or neutral can be made sour or acid by several different methods. One 
way is to remove the soil to a depth of several feet and replace it with a mixture of 
leaf-mold, manure, and acid loam. Aluminum sulphate is a safe chemical for creating 
an acid condition. If you wish to prepare your ground in this manner use one-fourth 
to one-half pound to a square yard, worked well into the top soil. When setting out 
the plants, at least a pint of the chemical should be added to each wheelbarrow load 
of soil. 
Several times a year the plants will appreciate a dressing of the aluminum sul- 
phate; in the fall it is good practice to scatter oak leaves among the Azalea plants so 
that they may decay there. Cottonseed meal and cow manure are good fertilizers but 
a small amount of aluminum sulphate should be added to the manure to make sure of 
its acidity.
