In size they range from dwarf plants 1 ft. high to tall bushes. Most forms produce flow ers abundantly, in spring or early summer; their colors ranging through pink, red and purple shades to white, yellow, orange, lilac and scarlet with all inter mediate colors. Many are delight fully fragrant. When not in bloom their foliage is very good and in winter the branching habit of most species is very interesting and useful in the landscape. The low growing shrubs are useful as small, ground- cover material. Azaleas require an acid soil, containing much fibrous material, rendering it spongy and retentive of moisture, but filled with spaces and never soggy. Azalea roots are very and lie very near the surface so > they should have moisture enough to prevent injury from drought, but they dislike “wet feet” as the old saying goes. Ordinary garden soil is com monly not acid enough for azaleas and it never contains enough or ganic matter. If oak leaf mold, or any one of the species of acid peat are mixed with the soil at the rate of 50% of the soil in which azaleas are planted, the problem of soil acidity and drainage will be solved in a most satisfactory manner. It usually pays to dig a hole of generous width, about 18 inches in depth at the place in tended to plant the azalea. Loosen up the soil below to insure good drainage and when planting, re fill the hole with a mixture of half and half loam and peat. Cinders are sometimes placed in the bottom of the hole to keep out earthworms. A pailful of water placed in the hole before the plant is set is very helpful. When several azaleas are placed in a group, a bed of prepared soil should be made. It is not diffi cult to make proper azalea soil, therefore short T comings of the The South’s Most Reliable Merchandise You Always Get GOOD VALUES BELK’S 165 Dep’t.

STROM PHONE NO. 76 McCORMICK, S. C. native soil should be no obstacle in their culture. They prefer sandy soil, but will grow in clay soil if enough organic matter is present. The site selected for growth should afford protection from wind, semi-shade and adequate moisture if possible. Oaks, fruit trees, conifers and other non competing trees make good covers for azaleas, but maples and elms should be avoided, because of their strong, surface-feeding roots, which will invade the bed and kill the azaleas. Oaks are especially desirable be cause of the enduring acidity of the leaves and the lightness of their shades. Conifers are useful in cold weather because of the protection they give from winter winds and too early spring sun shine. Azaleas do not enjoy total shade, but need at least two or three hours of good sunshine each day in order to grow and bloom satis factorily. Much alleged tenderness of Azaleas is due to dryness in sum mer rather than winter cold, and the mulch maintains the uni formity of soil moisture. An oak leaf mulch is decidedly beneficial to all azaleas. Any partly shaded area or cor ner of the home grounds especially if hedged or encircled by tall plantings of tall shrubs or trees, or a partly cleared patch of woods makes a fine spot for an azalea garden, which is very easily main tained when established. Azalea; may also be used in the shrubbery border and for many other pur poses. Enemies that attack azaleas are leaf scorch caused by fungus, and spider mites. Leaf scorch is con trolled by spraying the plants with copper ammonium silicate. Con trol mildew by dusting with fine sulphur.
