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 at 
intervals rather than frequent sprin¬ 
klings. 
Sturdy Plants—Carefully Packed 
“I received my order of shrubs and 
plants and, as usual, they are sturdy 
plants and were carefully packed. I 
would like to take this opportunity 
to express my satisfaction with every¬ 
thing I have ever bought from you; 
it is all healthy stock and consequently 
easy to grow.”
