The many friends and customers of

 Dreer, Inc., will be glad to know that 

 lie is making satisfactory progress to-

 able time for complete recovery, but he 

 is looking forward with pleasure to the 

 time when he will again be making his 

 regular calls upon the many customers 

 of the firm he represents. 



HABDT HEBBACEOUS BOBDEBS. 



Any mulch on the hardy perennial 

 borders should be removed at once, if 

 it has not already been cleared away. 

 Quite a number of plants are now start- 

 ing to grow quite vigorously and be- 

 fore growth becomes too strong it is 

 an excellent plan to stir up the soil 

 well about the plants. When they are in 

 nursery rows, a hoe or cultivator can 

 be used, but in mixed borders it is 

 better to use a common digging fork 

 to loosen the surface; there is less dan- 

 ger of injuring any bulbs or other 

 plants just below the surface of the 

 ground. If you gave the plants a good 

 dressing of rotted manure late last fall, 

 they will not need any additional feed- 

 ing, but where this was not done a 

 dressing of dried cow or sheep manure 

 or a good complete chemical fertilizer 

 before stirring up the soil will be bene- 

 ficial. In the case of peonies, a some- 

 what heavier dose can be applied than 

 for other perennials, but do not use 

 forcing stimulants, such as nitrate of 

 soda, except when the plants are 

 starved and need a powerful tonic. 



While autumn is the best time for 

 planting the large majority of hardy 

 perennials, there are probably twice as 

 many set out in spring as in the au- 

 tumn and the sooner planting can h<^ 

 done after the frost leaves the ground, 

 the better .will the perennials thrive. 

 There are a number of plants which, 

 while hardy in the warmejr stated, ^ro 

 not quite ironclad farther aorth, and 

 now is a good time to plant these out. 

 This list would include Japanese anera- 

 osea^ pofapon chrysanthemums, incarvil- 

 le«8, foxgloves, Canterbury bells, etc. 

 Do-not allow the roots of perennials to 

 become dry; they might not take any 

 serious injury from such a condition, 

 as would 6 W|a^3 ^trees and shrubs, 

 but the drying out pr(j|^s ,j|j^ne every 

 florist should guard 4'gainfft.
