Some Plants tor SHADY PLACES 
Lily-of-the-Valley Roots 
Splendid for shade, 
or partial shade. 
Thrives also out in 
the open, but is es¬ 
pecially valuable for 
places where many 
other flowers will 
not grow. May be 
planted in clumps, 
or the clumps may 
be pulled apart, mak¬ 
ing 25 to 30 single 
roots. Good way to 
get quick results is 
to make 5 to 8 
smaller clumps from 
the one I send you. 
Use fine sand liber¬ 
ally in soil when 
planting, give plenty 
of water, and your 
plants will bloom 
and spread nicely. 
Clump $1.00; 3 
clumps $2.50; 5 
clumps $4.00, pre¬ 
paid. Plant early. 
Hardy, Fragrant Violets 
Here’s one answer to 
that question, “What will 
grow and thrive in the 
shade?” 
These hardy violets 
grow in shade, partial 
shade, or out in the 
open, but do best in par¬ 
tial shade. The plants 
increase in size or num¬ 
ber by sending out short 
runners which take root 
and make new plants around the original one, 
soon forming quite a nice clump. When the 
clumps get too large or too thick they may be 
taken up, pulled apart and reset. 
The blossoms are of violet color, and deli¬ 
cately fragrant. I sell these violets in clumps. 
Each clump can be easily separated to make 
several dozen plants. Or, you can separate 
the clump into a few smaller clumps for 
quicker results. There is no set rule as to 
this. They thrive 'most any way if given good 
soil and reasonable care. 
Prices: One clump $1.00; 3 clumps $2.50; 5 
clumps for $4.00. Prepaid anywhere in U.

Pansies for 
Partial Shade 
Both Pansies and 
Asters do best in partial 
shade. Not too much, 
but some shade good for 
them. Ever notice that 
best Asters you see when 
driving about town are 
often on east side of a 
building? “There’s a 
reason.” See page 7. 
Annuals, Biennials, 
Perennials 
We often hear these terms used glibly 
enough, but may not understand just what 
they mean, with reference to plants. 
Annuals are plants which flower, produce 
seeds and die the same year the seed is sown. 
Most vegetables are annuals, and so also are 
many of our favorite flowers. Examples- 
Aster, Cosmos, Petunia, Snapdragon, Zinnias. 
Biennials are plants which finish their 
growth, produce seed, and die the second year 
Perennials are plants that live and bloom 
year after year indefinitely. Some will flower 
the first year. Examples: Columbine, Daisy, 
Forget-me-not, Gypsophila (Baby Breath).

ful, hardy perennial; sepals blue, petals white.
