AZALEA, PAUL SCHAME 
AZALEAS 
Priced according to size and variety. 
For sheer beauty the masses of flowers produced by Kurume Azaleas 
in late winter and spring with the end of the Camellia season, they 
have no equal. Quite often rains will threaten the bloom but they 
are a hardy lot and soon recover, showing no damage. They are 
essentially lovers of an acid soil which should possess an excellent 
drainage and quantities of peat. Pure peat, if the beds are large 
enough, would be best. Keep lime in any form away from them, 
even acid fertilizers should be used that are especially prepared 
for Azaleas. Light shade and plenty of water at all times. 
Kurume Azaleas. We will have a good selection.
