PLANTS FOR SHADY LOCATION. 



I have a narrow bed, about sixteen 

 inches wide, along the side of a porch, 

 in which I experience difficulty in finding 

 any stock that will do well. On account 

 of the slight overhang of the porch roof, 

 this bed receives little rain, and it is 

 therefore quite dry ; and at the same time 

 it is quite shady. I have made repeated 

 efforts to grow ferns in this location, but 

 without good results. I will thank you 

 to suggest any flowers or low growing 

 shrubs which would likely do well in this 

 dry and shady location. I prefer some- 

 thing hardy, and, if possible, a plant 

 that will not require watering, 



J. B. R. 



Ferns would not succeed in such a dry 

 spot, unless you keep them mulched with 

 partially decayed leaves and give an oc- 

 casional soaking of water. Of course, 

 there are no flowers or shrubs which will 

 grow as well in a dry spot as where they 

 can get the rainfall. Try a few plants 

 of Berberis Thunbergii, Japanese bar- 

 berry, setting the roots as near the outer 

 edge of the little border as possible. 

 Water, if necessary, the first season until 

 they become established; after that they 

 will care for themselves. C. W. 



ORIENTAL POPPIES. 



What varieties of oriental poppies 

 would bloom outside in southeastern Iowa 

 by Decoration dayf Can they be pur- 

 chased in blooming size, or will they 

 transplant satisfactorily! S. K. 



Any of the oriental poppies should 

 bloom in an ordinary season about Me- 

 morial day in your state. September is 

 the best time to transplant these poppies. 

 If planted in spring, you will not get 

 any flowers to amount to anything the 

 same season. If you want to get a good 

 batch of plants, purchase seed now. Sow 

 it in flats in a cool house or frame. Plant 

 out in the open ground the first week in 

 May in rows two feet apart, allowing a 

 foot between the plants. Keep the ground 

 well stirred all summer, and by fall you 

 will have good clumps which will flower 

 nicely the following year. C. W.
