PLANT KINGDOM 
Medium Height Shade Group 
This important group contains many of the 
garden aristocrats, including Azalea indi- 
ca, Daphne, and the Rhododendrons. Sit- 
uate them according to recommendations 
made for the low-shade group. Keep in 
mind when planting shade lovers that they 
must not be set too deeply and that a loose 
mulch of leaf mold or compost should take 
the place of frequent cultivation. Azaleas, 
Daphne, and Rhododendrons are particu- 
larly shallow rooted. Never spray shade- 
lovers with water while exposed to sun- 
light.
