Delightful Flowers for Gardens or Rockeries 
T HESE plants will bloom for you abundantly the first summer and in succeeding years without 
replanting, although some varieties need to be taken up and the roots divided after several years. 
Plant in masses bordering driveways, fences or the lawn; along shrub borders, or in the garden. 
Perennials are especially desirable in front of shrub borders with taller growers in back and lower 
varieties in front. Let the back line be broken with a little shorter plants at some points. 
How to Plant and Care 
Clay soil should be made lighter with 
manure and sand. 
It pays to mix in thoroughly well- 
rotted manure or bone-meal in good soil 
that has been deeply dug. 
Set plants a little deeper than they 
stood in the nursery and spread out the 
roots. Plants moved in full growth 
should always be cut back. 
Cultivate during the growing season 
to preserve moisture, to aerate the soil, 
and to keep down weeds. 
In dry spells, water thoroughly at in¬ 
tervals rather than frequent sprinklings. 
Remove and burn old flowers, seed 
pods and dead leaves. Apply a covering 
of manure in the fall and mix it into 
the soil in the spring. 
Most perennials can be planted in the fall if early enough so that the roots can become established 
before cold weather. 
Varieties that bloom late in the season are better transplanted in the spring.
