AZALEAS 
AZALEAS should be planted in a hole three times the 
size of the ball of the plant and should be planted in 
pure peat, shallow, and prefers semi-shade. After its 
main blooming period is over, it should be pruned back 
very heavily and all the small weak branches should be 
removed entirely. Azaleas need a great deal of water 
and in soil where the drainage is good, it is almost 
impossible to over-water them. 
They should be fertilized with an acid-fertilizer 
through the month of April to and including August, 
but should have no fertilizer the remainder of the year. 
PELARGONIUMS and GERANIUMS 
PELARGONIUMS and GERANIUMS thrive in such 
varied soils that the only caution given is to provide 
good drainage in heavy soils. 
They grow in fairly acid soil and even tolerate some 
alkalinity, but become stunted and yellow in foliage- 
color as the alkaline condition increases. 
Soil for pots may be fairly heavy, such as 2 parts 
loam or top soil (not sandy), 1 part leaf mold or peat, 
and 1 part sharp sand. Geraniums should be firmly 
potted—press or stamp the soil down more than you 
would for begonias or fuchsias. 
Water young plants well until established. After 
that keep amply moist, preferably by irrigation rather 
than overhead sprinkling. Established geranium plants 
require less water than fuchsias and chrysanthemums, 
for example. 
In poor ground such as sandy or root-crowded soil 
apply humus and fertilizer before planting. Give estab- 
lished plants one or two applications during spring and 
summer. 
Potted geraniums should be fed about once a month 
during the blooming season, or more often if a liquid 
manure or salts are used. In any case, apply fertilizer 
according to the manufacturer's directions.
