ment keep 3 ft. away. : 
Plant dwarf growing varieties 12 to 18 
inches apart; tall or larger growing kinds, 
two to three feet apart. 
Plant in Spring or early Fall, providing 
Winter protection for Fall plantings, es- 
pecially Anemones, Campanula, Digitalis, 
Hollyhocks, Chrysanthemums, Stokesia 
and Tritoma. For best results transplant 
every few years to produce more abundant

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.

ply a muleh of cut tobacco stems, strawy 
manure, leaves or other light material to
