Planting Perennials 
T HE first thing to be considered is the proper preparation of the 
soil. The beds, enriched with well-rotted manure, should be 
dug deep, especially if there is a clay bottom, which should be 
broken through to give the bed proper drainage and permit deep 
rooting of the plants, so that they will withstand the drought of 
summer. If planted in dry weather, they should be well watered, 
and throughout the summer the surface of the beds thoroughly culti¬ 
vated to keep down the weeds and conserve the moisture.
