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 earthline 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 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 successful. 
For use in beds of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and other similar plants we recom- 
mend the following: Galax, Shortia, Ferns, Orchids, Lilies, Trilliums, Cimicifuga, 
Iris, Polygonatums, Sanguinarias, and most of our other perennials.
