AZALEAS ARE BECOMING MORE POP- 
ULAR EACH YEAR. NO PLANTING 
SHOULD BE WITHOUT AZALEAS, IF 
THE CLIMATE WILL PERMIT. MOST 
VARIETIES LISTED IN OUR’ CATA- 
LOGUE HAVE BEEN GROWN IN OUR 
NURSERY FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS 
OR MORE. 
Our temperatures here have dropped to 10° 
below zero, and somtimes lower. All vari- 
eties that do not take our climate are elim- 
inated. 
Azaleas thrive well in acid soil. Lime 
should not be used. If soil is alkaline use 
large quantities of acid peat moss. An ap- 
plication of aluminum sulphate once a 
year also will help acidify. Leaf mold from 
near by woods can be used. 
Azaleas can be used for borders on founda- 
tion planting. Many Azaleas are evergreen 
and many are diciduous. Each year we 
are adding a few more to our list. We also 
are Geveloping some very fine varieties of 
our own, which we will introduce soon.
