PLANT COMBINATIONS 



combinations may be used 

 whereby a certain area may be made 

 to produce a double crop of bloom, and 

 thus prolong the flowering season within 

 that area. Peonies, which are planted two 

 and a half to three feet apart, may have 

 the Lilium superbum, the later varieties of 

 gladiolus, or Hyacinth candicans planted 

 in between them; the last two should be 

 taken up each fall as they are not hardy 

 in all sections. The lilies will require re- 

 setting every few years, as they travel 

 around in their new growth, and may in- 

 vade the peony roots. These will flower 

 above the peony foliage. Fall is the best 

 time to plant any lily. 



The shooting star (Dodecatheon media) 

 may be planted between the spreading 

 dwarf plants of that admirable bell flower
