♦PACHYSANDRA terminalis. Japanese 
Spurge. The best ground-cover for mass¬ 
ing in shaded areas where grass will not 
grow. If planted 6 to 8 inches apart, the 
bright glossy green foliage will soon form 
perfect mats, particularly if the soil is well 
enriched before planting and a winter 
mulch of well-decayed manure 1 inch deep 
is applied each season. We suggest the use 
of pot-grown plants except where large 
quantities are required. Field-grown 
plants 25 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12 per

tinuously from June until frost, producing 
a succession of 1 to l>Gfoot spikes, nicely 
dressed with rich garnet gloxinia-like 
blossoms. Not entirely hardy in New 
England, the roots should be overwintered 
in the coldframe. This colorful plant is 
worth the trouble. 35 cts. each, $1 for 3,

Paeonia (Peony) 
In planting this fine old favorite, provide a 
good soil, deeply dug and enriched with well- 
decayed manure to which a sprinkling of bone 
meal should be added. The fertilizer should 
not come in direct contact with the roots, 
and the plants should be set just deep enough 
to cover the crowns. While the large two- 
year plants should bloom the first season, it 
requires from two to three years before the 
flowers appear in their true form.

Hardy Phlox 
Given good soil and divided every two or 
three years, these splendid Hardy Phlox will 
not deteriorate. Their gorgeous colors are 
invaluable to the garden from midsummer 
until late in the season. During dry periods 
water should be applied copiously. If mildew 
appears, indicated by a white powdery sub¬ 
stance on the leaves, during changeable 
weather, spray with liver of sulphur (sulphide 
of potassium), l ounce to 3 gallons of water to 
which a little soap should be added, or apply 
a good brand of fine dusting sulphur in early 
June, using a duster to insure a coating 
beneath as well as above the foliage. Repeat 
every two weeks if needed. Plant 1J£ to 2 
feet apart. 
Important. Water should be applied freely 
just before flowering if soil is dry; also 
throughout the summer. To be effective the 
moisture must penetrate to a depth of 9 to 12 
inches.
