HOW TO GROW WILD FLOWERS 
We don’t know all about the Why and Why Nots of 
growing Wild Flowers but to handle most of them success¬ 
fully is not at all difficult. 
To insure success and conserve our Wildlings just find 
out from observation, books, or persons informed, the de¬ 
gree of light or shade a plant enjoys, the water content 
and whether permanent or temporary, the proportion of 
decayed vegetable matter, the chemical reaction and the 
mechanical condition, hard, firm or loose, of the soil about 
its roots and approximate these conditions. Good luck will 
usually be yours. 
These things can mostly be done through the use of 
your good common sense, but to get chemical reactions is 
different and needs the proper tools. To have them correct 
is of most extreme importance, so use any soil tester sold 
at the better horticultural stores. With it, you can quickly 
tell soil reactions and make corrections accordingly. 
After all, success with Wild Flowers just means being 
informed. Find out before you dig or buy a plant. Have the 
Wild Things you love about you but Save The Wild 
Flowers. 
Hopefully yours,
