remarkably suited to hold the

AzuIeo Harm

From E. L. c., 403 Westgrove
blvd, Alexandria, Va.-What is
wrong with the azalea twig en-
closed?
Answer-It would appear to
have suffered severe winter in
jury above the snowline: it
shows some signs Of iron de-
ficiency. and possibly insect in
jury. Iron deficiency and insect
injury are most common in this
area and weaken the bushes
causing them to suffer winter
injury. Apply chellated iron to
the soil, have a soil test run,
and then add sulphur to in
crease the acidity. The insect
injury is best controlled by
spraying with malathion and
tedion three times at weekly
intervals now and again in
August.

be used but rather than wait
