SUCCESS WITH FLO WEES 
Many early and summer flowering perennials such as 
Delphiniums, Poppies, etc., will bloom again in the fall 
if the old flower stems and part of the foliage are cut 
off before seed is formed, as the cutting and pruning 
back induces the plants to make a fresh growth. Most 
of the hardy plants which flower during spring and 
earl}’ summer, such as Paeonies, Bleeding Heart, do best 
if left undivided and undisturbed for several years. 
On the other hand the late summer and fall flowering 
varieties, such as Rudbeckias, Asters, should be lifted 
each year, separated into bunches of 3 to 5 stalks and 
reset after the ground has been redug and enriched, 
they will then produce flowers of larger size and finer 
colors. 
The hardy plants will be greatly benefited by an 
annual dressing of manure which if put on the ground 
in the fall after all the top growth of the plants has 
been cut down and removed, will act as a protection 
during winter and can be dug into the soil in early 
spring.
