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 sphag- 
num, or even on vermiculite, 
always covering very lightly. 
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 sow- 
ings, 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 sulphur, or by 
adding decayed oak leaves, peat or old sawdust.
