PLANTING: The following points are important in insuring the best 
possible success with Rhododendron, Kalmia, Azaleas and Hemlock: 
(1) Be sure soil is well drained and sub-soil broken. 
(2) Use leaf-mold or humus in direct contact with the roots. 
(3) Leave a depression instead of a mound around the base of the 
plant to carry surface water directly to the roots. 
(4) Mulch with sawdust—especially in Fall planting. 
(5) Water frequently throughout the first year. 
(6) Rhododendron maximum should never be planted in sunny loca¬ 
tions or where exposed to high winds. 
(7) Never plant in alkaline soil. Be sure the soil has, at least, a 
slight acid reaction.
