How to Plant 



Upon arrival of the plants, unpack at once and place them 

 shady spot, then sprinkle them lightly with water; as 



evening approaches, take them where the ground is prepared 

 and just before planting, dip each root ball in a pail of water. 



Preparation of Soil 



|(r - . 



The bed should be dug and thoroughly cultivated to a depth 

 of 12 to 14 inches. Incorporate with the soil rotted leaves or 

 well rotted manure of any kind. Fresh manure should be 

 avoided because it usually holds grub worms. After cultivat- 

 ing, scatter bonemeal at the 

 rate of 100 lbs. to each bed 

 15x50 feet, raking it well into 

 the surface. 



In the home garden plants 

 may be set in rows 2 feet 

 apart with the plants 1 foot 

 apart in the row. As the Mid- 

 summer sun is very hot, it is 

 well to shade the plants in 

 some manner during the hot- 

 test part of the day for the 

 first two or three days after 

 planting. The plants, how- 

 ever, should get a minimum 

 of six hours of sunshine each 

 day, and this should be kept 

 when locating the beds.

Care Required for Best 

 Results 



As all gardeners know, the most im- 

 portant rule for success is to keep out 

 weeds. Go over the bed once a week 

 with a good, sharp hoe which will not 

 only cut out the weeds, but will also 

 loosen the soil, preserve the moisture 

 and stimulate growth. When freezing 

 weather comes on in the Fall, the plants 

 should be mulched with coarse manure- 

 Care should be taken that a light cov- 

 ering only be applied and should never consist of wet or other- 

 wise heavy material.
