PYRETHRUM, PYRUS 



480 



Fig. 252. PYRETHRUM ULIGINOSUM. This is hard to beat as a late September- 

 flowering perennial for use in the background of the border 



groups or masses. They are grown from seed or from divisions of 

 the roots, which are best made in early Spring. 



PYRUS (GRAB APPLE) 



The single and double flowering Grab Apples should be planted 

 more extensively. They don't amount to a great deal until they 

 become well established but the older they get the more beautiful 

 they are in Spring. Always figure on plenty of space for the single 

 varieties. The best time to move large specimens is during the 

 Winter months when it can be done with a large frozen ball of soil, 

 that serves to keep the roots intact. 



The double flowering Grab, Pyrus Parkmanii, is rather slow 

 growing, but when it is loaded with its double pink blossoms during 

 Spring, there is hardly anything to equal it.
