Cultural Directions for Azaleas, Broad-leaf Evergreens 
And Similiar Plants 
Azaleas, Kalmias, Leucothoe, and Rhododendrons are acid-soil 
plants and will not succeed well in limestone soil. 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 sod, 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 
f’ eezing 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, Or¬ 
chids, Lilies, Trilliums, CimiCifugas, Iris, Polygonatums, Sanguin- 
arias, and most of our other perennials.
