Viola palmata’s flowers are violet- 
purple and from l / 2 " to l" across. The 
plant is adapted to growing under 
shaded conditions 
Perhaps the handsomest of the tril- 
liums is T. grandiflorum, whose large 
white flowers are borne a foot or 
more above the ground 
TO PLANT in the SHADED GARDEN 
T HOSE shady spots in the garden which receive little or no 
sun constitute perplexing planting problems, for the choice of 
things which will thrive under these conditions is far from 
large. Ivy, the common myrtle, and various ferns will thrive in such 
places where other plants will not grow. The wild grape and 
the pipe vine (Aristolochia macrophyll.a) will also grow there. 
Among the flowers, those shown on this page are among those 
desirable ones which are most likely to succeed. . 
Lilies-of-the-valley are 
trustworthy standbys for 
the shaded garden. A bed 
will last for years 
The little periwinkle, trail¬ 
ing, evergreen and hardy, 
bears lilac-blue flowers. It 
does well in shade 
A splendid early summer 
flowering shrub for shady 
places is the mountain lau¬ 
rel. It looks well all winter 
The common blue wild 
violet is V. cucullata. It 
does best in a moist place 
protected from the sun 
More showy, and obtain¬ 
able in a greater range of 
colors than the laurel, are 
the rhododendrons
