HOLD YOUR BREATH 
There is a very large mortality in trans¬ 
planted perennials, too large. Among the fac¬ 
tors responsible for this are improper handling 
at the source, improper preparation for ship¬ 
ping and improper care when received and 
planted; but by far the worst factor is our im¬ 
patience to get the plants in the ground in the 
spring; we must admit we are subject to this 
spring fever and have paid heavily for it; it’s 
a good plan to order eariy, prepare your ground 
and then count ten (or more) and wait until 
the ground is dried out a bit and the sun has 
had a chance to warm it up; plants put in the 
ground on IVlay first will mature sooner and 
blossom more freely than those planted on 
April first; better still, plant in the fall.
