HOW TO PLANT AND CARD POR 
PERENNIALS 
Success with perennials requires a rich 
soil, good cultivation and careful watering. 
Groups of three or more of a variety pro¬ 
duce the best effect. Use taller growing 
varieties as a background. Near Shrubs 
which rob Perennials of plant nourishment 
keep 3 ft. away. 
Plant in Spring or early Fall, providing 
Winter protection for Fall plantings, espe¬ 
cially Anemones, Campanula, Digitalis, 
Hollyhocks, Chrysanthemums. Stokesia 
and Tritoma. For best results transplant 
every few years to produce more abun¬ 
dant bloom. 
The soil should be dug to a depth of at 
least 12 to 18 inches into which has been 
worked two inches of well rotted stable 
manure. Some other good fertilizer can be 
used if stable manure is unobtainable, 
but stable manure is to be preferred. 
At the beginning of freezing weather ap¬ 
ply a mulch of cut tobacco stems, strawy 
manure, leaves or other light material to 
prevent alternate freezing and thawing of 
the sail, which may cause damage.
