Soil Preparation 
I N preparing the soil, remember that plants 
need room. You cannot have a good gar- 
den if you set plants tightly together, or if 
you prepare holes barely large enough to 
accommodate them. For proper aeration, 
prepare a piece of ground much larger than 
needed. Of course, this advice seems hardly 
necessary, as most people plant in gardens 
where a piece of soil embracing many square 
feet will be prepared. But, still we must say 
this: do not plant your flowers too closely to- 
gether. If you. have a dozen plants, prepare 
for a dozen, and not only for four or five. 
A space 214 to 3 feet across is none too 
large for an Azaleamum, for Azaleamums 
spread to large size and they need room. 
The ball of earth on an Azaleamum plant 
should be about | inch under the soil’s sur- 
face. 
And, we mean room to grow under- 
ground, as well as above. Azaleamums come 
to size and form by means of stolons that 
reach out from the mother plant, below the 
ground, and from which new shoots appear. 
If you prepare a piece of ground only six or 
eight inches across for your Azaleamum, be- 
cause the plant is small in the beginning, 
how on earth can you expect that you can 
have a large plant in September? 
The Azaleamum above is wrongly plant- 
ed. Note the small hole, with no room for 
the roots to spread. The ghost line shows 
what you want. 
If your are planting in a border, the 
plants may be placed as closely as 12 to 15 
inches apart, for solid effect, but the strip of 
soil prepared should still be at least two feet 
wide, and 2% feet to 3 feet is better.
