When planting in a rock garden, use 
some of the tall growing varieties for 
background, such as the American and 
Pyramid Arbor Vitae, Austrian and 
Scotch Pine, Norway Spruce and 
Canadian Hemlock. 
The Junipers and Arbor Vitaes can 
be trimmed to prevent spreading or grow¬ 
ing too tall. 
PERENNIALS IN BLOOM 
Don’t forget to visit the nursery dur¬ 
ing the month of June when thousands 
of perennials are in bloom, and in July 
and August when many varieties of Hardy 
Phlox are in bloom. A good display will 
be on hand each day from which to select. 
ANNUALS IN BLOOM 
Many annuals are in bloom at the nur¬ 
sery during the summer months. If your 
garden is not complete, you can get 
Petunias, Verbenas, Bachelor’s But¬ 
tons, Pinks, Marigolds, Lobelias, Snap¬ 
dragons, Zinnias, etc., all in bloom, just 
what you need to fill up that vacant space 
in the garden. 
The nursery is open every day all sum¬ 
mer. The summer planting of flowers is 
increasing each year. The plants should 
be planted in late afternoon or evening 
for best results. Water the ground before 
planting and again afterwards. Press earth 
firmly around roots. 
Perennials should be protected in win¬ 
ter with a covering of three or four inches 
of straw. Cover in the fall when the 
ground starts to freeze.

When planting a shade tree cut back 
top branches one-half. Dig the hole deep 
and fill with water which should be al¬ 
lowed to settle. Set tree deep and tamp 
hard with foot. After tree is planted 
water again. Then water about twice a 
week for a month if in sandy soil. Less 
watering is required in heavy soil. Some 
varieties of trees will drown if watered 
too much. 
BLACK DIRT 
Our black dirt is nearly all humus. 
Humus is decayed vegetation and decayed 
vegetation is nature’s fertilizer. It pro¬ 
duces a good growth of new vegetation 
wherever used, in flower pots, window 
boxes, flower beds, gardens or lawns.

Vigoro is a highly concentrated fer¬ 
tilizer. It acts quickly and should be used 
in starting small plants. Spread on a coat¬ 
ing of about 1 lb. to 3 or 4 square yards, 
and mix in the soil to a depth of 3 or 4 
inches before setting in plants. Use it in 
connection with our Humus soil to start 
a more rapid growth.
