Cultural Directions for Azaleas, Broad-Leaved Evergreens, 
and Similar Plants 
Azaleas, Kalmias, Leucothoe, Pieris, and Rhododendrons are acid-soil plants and 
will not succeed well in limestone soils. A deep, porous soil is essential. The ground 
should be excavated to a depth of about 2 feet, working in leaf-mold, humus, or well- 
rotted stable manure. This mixture must be worked in carefully and packed tight around 
the roots. Fill in the excavation with rotted sods, muck or peat soil, mixed with a small 
quantity of sand. 
The plants should be set the same depth as in the nursery, which is shown by the 
earth-line near the base. After planting, mulch with several inches of leaves or light 
litter, allowing this mulch to remain around the plants, and renew it annually in the 
autumn. A thin covering of rich soil may be used to advantage in holding mulch in 
place and to assist in decomposition. The mulch also tends to keep the soil cool in 
summer and protects against freezing in winter. If these simple instructions are observed, 
your planting of Broad-leaved Evergreens will be entirely successful. 
For use in beds of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and other similar plants we recommend 
the following: Galax, Shortia, Ferns, Orchids, Lilies, Trilliums, Cimicifugas, Iris, 
Polygonatums, Sanguinarias, and most of our other perennials.
