Care of Perennials 
Thorough watering is important both 
at planting time and through the hot 
summer months until the ground is 
thoroughly covered with foliage. If 
maximum bloom is to be expected all 
seeding heads should he removed as 
soon as the flowers have fadeed This 
will not only prolong the season 
of blooming but in most perennials 
will increase the size of the flowers. 
After the ground is frozen hard 
in late Fall tiie plants which have 
not made heavy growth or which are 
known to he tender should be lightly 
mulched with leaves or straw, held in 
place with branches of brush.
