4 THE GAY AZALEAS 
You can grow them from seed 
without too much _ difficulty. 
Just sow on a mixture of sand 
and peat (the method we use 
here in the nursery), or on sifted 
sphagnum, or even on vermicu- 
lite, always covering very light- 
ly. Water from below if you can, 
by partial immersion of the pot 
or flat. Shade a bit. Sowings may 
be made in the winter months 
under glass; a sunny window 
will do. Adequate results are also 
often obtained from cold-frame 
sowings, or from sowings made 
in shaded outdoor seed-beds in 
early spring. Transplant the 
seedlings into soil that is on 
the acid side. You can make it so by treating with aluminum 
sulphate, or by adding decayed oak leaves, peat, old sawdust 
or like acid material.
