Hints on Growing 
Perennials Successfully 
Clay soil should be made lighter.with 
manure and sand. It pays to mix in 
thoroughly well-rotted manure or bone- 
meal in good soil that has been deeply 
dug. 
Set plants a little deeper than they 
stood in the nursery and spread out the 
roots. Plants moved in full growth 
should always be cut back. 
Cultivate during the growing season 
to preserve moisture, to aerate the soil, 
and to keep down weeds. 
In dry spells, water thoroughly 1 at 
intervals rather than frequent sprin¬ 
klings.
