A FASCINATING HOBBY 
Growing Azaleas is a hobby which provides an ever increas- 
ing source of interest. There are so many species to be had 
and so many almost breath-taking new hybrids being pro- 
duced, that one is amazed at the magnificent display that 
we may have with only a small space of ground and a few 
of the newer plants that are now being offered. If you want 
a stimulating (and profitable) hobby that grows more inter- 
esting, beautiful and valuable every year, then grow Azaleas. 
HARDINESS OF PLANTS. When hardiness of plants is 
mentioned herein it applies only to this section unless other- 
wise mentioned. 
ALUMINUM SULPHATE 
Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Blueberries, Cornus florida, 
Heather, Kalmia and many other plants require an acid soil. 
Acid-forming organic matter, such as well-rotted oak leaves 
helps to increase acidity. Aluminum Sulphate is a good 
chemical for increasing soil acidity by using 4 to % pound 
per square yard. Also used for turning hydrangeas blue. 
10 Ibs. $1.50; 50 lbs. $4.50; 100 lbs. $7.50 
We unhesitatingly recommend ‘‘Rootone’’ as an aid in 
rooting. We treat every cutting we make with it. This is 
the greatest recommendation we can give anything. $5.00 per 
pound, postpaid. 
EMBOSSED ZINC LABELS 
We will make from your list of varieties, Embossed Zinc 
Labels, % inch wide at 7c each in any quantity desired. 
These Labels will permanently identify your plants. 
HORTICULTURAL PEAT MOSS 
Very fine, clear, highly absorbent. Burlapped bales. $4.90 
each, while present stock is available. This is the kind we 
use for propagating. 
Air Layering Plants 
You have often wanted to propagate some plants of a 
scarce or high priced variety but did not have the proper 
facilities to do it with. With a new outfit we are offering, 
you can do it yourself, as easily as making an old-fashioned 
graft. You take a branch of the shrub or tree you wish to 
graft, (leaving it on the parent plant) girdle the branch or 
twig, put damp peat moss or damp sphagnum moss around 
the girdled part and wrap it tightly with this new water- 
proof plastic (in sheets) and tie it, top and bottom, with 
rubber bands. Generally within six to eight weeks the twig 
is rooted ready to pot. It requires no watering or other 
attention until ready to pot. Complete outfit (enough plastic 
sheets and rubber bands to make 100 grafts) with complete 
instructions how to do the grafting, for $5.00 postpaid.
