THESE GRow ew. IN SHADE 
Here is your idea market for the foundation planting with a north, 
northeast or east exposure. Most of these plants do not tolerate 
scorching afternoon sun so be careful not to place them west of 
north. Early morning sun is desirable, though not essential. Group 
these interesting varieties beneath shade trees and flowering trees, 
deciduous or evergreen. A better showing is created by grouping 
three to seven plants of a single variety together. Most shade-lovers 
have bright-green foliage and prefer soil that is on the acid side. 
To promote vigor of growth and flower buds use a peat or leaf- 
mold mulch and twice yearly applications of acid fertilizer in
