Directions

Note:
Azaleas, rhododendrons and laurel are shallow rooted plants. Keep them mulched and well watered in dry weather. Do not cultivate near them as surface roots may be cut and the plant damaged.
Planting
Dig hole larger than root of plant so that roots can spread naturally. Discard 1/3 of the soil removed and replace it with good humus. Add one cup Holly-tone and mix thoroughly.
Feeding
Established acid-loving plants should be fed twice yearly, spring and late fall. Sprinkle Holytone around like adding salt and pepper to food. If the area to be fed is mulched, it is preferable to remove the mulch, feed, and then restore the mulch on top of the application of plant food. If this is not possible, double all recommended feeding rates.
Spring
Trees:
1 lb. of Holly-tone per inch of trunk diameter. Triple the quantity for diameters three inches and over.
Shrubs:
One cupful of Holly-tone per foot of branch spread. Double the quantity if branch spread is three feet or larger.
Beds:
Preparation of new bed - mix 10 lbs. of Holly-tone per 100 square feet and incorporate into the top four or five inches of soil. Feed established beds 5 lbs. of Holly-tone per 100 square feet.
Fall
The plants should be given a light feeding in the late fall. Use half the quantities recommended for spring.
