PLANTS TO GROW IN THE SHADE 
Shade need not be a limiting factor for 
the growth of flowers if those tolerant of 
shade are planted. Adequate soil prepara- 
tion, fertilization and early planting are 
even more important than under normal 
conditions. We have suggested here a few 
of the more successful ones for shade.
