.,, Most perennials need a sunny ‘location although some Varieties 
will grow in semi-shade. Perennials should be kept well away from 
the roots of trees as.they rob them af food and..moisture. Be. sure 
‘that. the: bed or ground that you are going to: plant perennials ‘in is 
well drained, as perennials will not stand a lot of water remaining 
upon the surface of the ground for long periods of time. Thé ‘soil 
should be made loose to a depth of 11% to 2 feet, with a plentiful 
supply of fertilizer thoroughly mixed into the ground when it s spad- 
ed up. If the soil is clay that becomes extremely ,hard during the 
summer season it would be well to throw out the top six .or eight 
inches of soil and mix ‘with this a liberal amount of peat moss or other 
commercial humus before putting it back into the bed and proceeding 
with the planting. Perennials like a porous soil in which they. can 
throw out their roots. The soil in which perennials are planted should 
be kept rich at all times. Many of the plants are shallow rooted and 
are not able to send out their roots in search of new food supply.
