A GARDEN OF NATIVE PLANTS 



water to saturate the soil clinging to the roots. 

 Do not plant them in the border until after 

 sundown. If the next day is sunny, shade 

 them well and shower them frequently. In 

 some instances most of the old fronds will die 

 off, but if care is taken in lifting and planting, 

 and the necessary amount of shade and water 

 is given, few of the leaves will be lost. 



All the shrubs and plants mentioned can be 

 removed safely in spring. In planting them 

 have the soil mellow, make the hole large 

 enough to accommodate all the roots without 

 cramping them, and settle the soil about them 

 by applying water after you have them covered 

 to the depth of two or three inches. Then fill 

 in with the dryer soil and press it down well 

 with the foot all about the plant. 



It will be found that all native plants take 

 on a strength and luxuriance of growth under 

 domestication such as they never exhibit when 

 growing wild.
