Plant in good, rich, well drained 
ground that has been prepared the 
same as you would for any garden 
crop. The drawing above shows the 
proper depth for the various types of 
perennials. No. 1, such as the Iris, 
* should be planted with the main root 
just below the surface of the ground. 
No. 2. such as the Peonies, should be 
planted with the eyes or buds not more 
than 2 inches below the surface. No. 3, 
the fibrous-rooted type, should be 
planted with the crown just even with 
the ground level, not below. No. 4. {| 
such as the Hollyhock, Lupine and Hi- — 
biscus, should be planted with the bud 
just below the surface, and the root 
tuber extending straight down. Set the 
low and medium growing perennials 8 
to 12 inches apart, the taller ones 18 to 
24 inches apart. The more shallow cul- 
tivation you give them with the hoe, 
the better they will be and the more 
attractive your garden. During dry 
periods they should be given plenty of — 
moisture, especially until well estab- 
lished. A light covering of straw, 
leaves or other coarse litter placed 
over the bed in late fall when the 
ground is frozen 2 inches down, will 
insure safety, and do not uncover too 
early in the spring.
