Azaleas, Rhododendrons and 
Evergreen Shrubs 
This group of plants is prized for its magnificent flowers 
and the shiny green of its lasting foliage. This vicinity is 
very favorable for their growth, and many thousands are 
being planted every year. 
The difficulties that home owners meet in growing these 
plants may be removed easily. First, they should be planted 
only where they have reasonable protection from sweep¬ 
ing dry winds. Any building, shrubbery, group of ever¬ 
greens, or fence will be sufficient. 
Second, the soil must be acid. The soils of the vicinity 
are naturally acid and are good if not limed. Third, the 
soil must have good natural drainage; if it is a heavy 
clay, then sand should be mixed in under and about the 
roots up to about 25 per cent. Fourth, the plants must 
never lack moisture, even in winter, because they have root 
systems almost directly on the surface. When they are 
planted, granulated peat should be mixed into the soil 
around the plants where the roots will spread out, and a 
two-inch layer of the peat should be placed on top of the 
ground above the roots as a mulch. 
In addition to the above precautions, plants should not 
be used which have been grown in poor soils or collected 
from the wild state. A heavy solid mat of roots in rich 
soil and peat is a necessity. Our stock is so perfect in 
this respect that you may select from it at any time with 
safety, even while the plants are in bloom. 
A visit to STYER’S NURSERIES in April and May will 
convince you.
