Cultural Directions for Azaleas, Broad-Leaved Evergreens, 
and Similar Plants 
Azaleaj, Kalmias, Deucothoe, Pieris, and Rhododendrons aie 
acid-soil plants and will not succeed well in limestone soils. A 
deep, porous soil is essential. Ihe ground should be excavated to 
?, depth of about 2 feet, working in leaf-mold, humus, or well-rot¬ 
ted 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, 
v/hich 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 ob¬ 
served, your planting of Broad-leaved Evergreens will be entire¬ 
ly successful.
