Perennial Planting Hints 
Do not plant too thickly. A rule which may be followed, is to setjplants which grow to a 
height of 2 feet or less, 12 inches apart, and all taller one-half their height. Aquilegias and 
Coreopsis which grow 2 feet high, for example, may be planted 12 inches apart, while Del¬ 
phinium and Hollyhocks, which grow 5 feet high, should usually be 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Cultivation is of the simplest, with any good garden soil, deeply enriched. The best time to 
plant is early in the fall or when they are just starting into growth in the spring. The soil should 
be comparatively dry when plants are set. Cultivation should be frequent and weeds kept down. 
During hot, dry weather, or when it is not convenient to water, a mulch of any loose, light 
material is very beneficial. For this purpose grass clippings are excellent. 
About mid-November, when all soft growth has been killed and the tops are thoroughly 
ripened, the old stems should be removed and burned. Then apply a winter protection of leaves 
or litter. Perennials should be given a liberal dressing of well-rotted manure each spring.
