Cultural Directions for Azaleas, Broad-leaved Evergreens, and Similar Plants 
Azaleas, Kalmias, Leucothoe, Pieris and Rhododendrons are acid-soil plants and will 
not succeed well in limestone soils. 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 sods, 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, allow- 
ing 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 
the decomposition. The mulch also tends to keep the soil cool in summer and protects 
against freezing in winter. If these simple instructions are observed, your planting of 
Broad-leaved Evergreens will be entirely successfull. 3
