Planting Suggestions 
for Perennials 
Most of the perennials can be 
planted in either spring or fall, 
though spring is generally conceded 
a little the safest for the majority. 
Plant in good rich ground, that has 
been prepared the same as you 
would for any garden crop, and as 
a rule the crowns should be on a 
level with the ground. Set the low 
and medium growing perennials 8 
to 12 inches apart, the taller ones 
18 or 20 inches apart. The more 
shallow cultivation you give them 
with the hoe, the better they will 
be, and the more attractive your 
garden. During dry periods they 
should be given plenty of moisture, 
especially until well established. A 
light covering of straw, leaves or 
other coarse litter placed over the 
bed in late fall when the ground is 
frozen two inches down, will insure 
safety, and do not uncover too early 
in the spring. 
Very distinctive, as it forms a broad circular 
cushion not over 9 inches high, and this so lavishly 
covered with silvery mauve flowers in October and 
November when most other flowers are gone. Fine 
for edging or the rock garden. 25c each; 5 for 75c; 
10 for #1.25. 
Bleeding Heart: 
(Dicentra) 
An old favorite, with fernlike foliage and deep 
rose-red, heart-shaped flowers clustered along droop' 
ing stems. Very hardy and thrifty. 30c each; 3 for 
75c; 10 for #2.00.
