FLOWERING SHRUBS | 
Azalea, Paul Schame 
AZALEAS 
For sheer beauty the masses of flowers produced by Kurume Azaleas 
in late winter and spring with the end of the Camellia season, 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. 
INDICA AZALEAS 
These are by far the choicest of the Azalea family with closely 
formed bushy growth, neat dark green leaves and a gorgeous display 
of large flowers, mostly double but of delicate pleasing quality, 
often blended with other colors, plain or ruffled. Not as hardy as 
Kurumes in some localities. Good in tubs, as patio plants. Potted
