FOR THE HOME BEAUTIFUL 203 



space in which to spread, and if the season is at 

 all favorable, and the soil kept moist, you will have 

 a wonderful crop of blooms from these root cut- 

 tings next spring. 



Also, Hardy Chrysanthemums may be planted 

 as late as July or August, with expectation of 

 their coming into bloom during the late fall 

 months, the natural blooming period of the chrys- 

 anthemum. The Hollyhock, from seed sown in 

 the spring, may be transplanted during July and 

 August to bloom the succeeding spring. 



While the Hardy Iris of both the German and 

 Japanese types may be planted during the fall 

 months, or in fact at any time when the ground is 

 fit and the plants not in bloom, nevertheless it will 

 be far better to transplant Iris during July or 

 August than it will be to wait until October or 

 November to do this work. 



These two months, of course, are the proper 

 season in which to sow the seeds of most perennials, 

 the tiny plants resulting to be a few weeks later 

 transplanted into their permanent positions to 

 bloom next year. 



If your Peonies need to be divided and trans- 

 planted this year or if you are planting the stately 

 white Madonna Lily, this work should be done in 

 late August in preference to doing it either earlier 

 or later. 



Something ought to be mentioned here too
