HOW TO GROW THEM 

There are only a very few perennia! 
plants that can be planted under trees, and 
excepting for Myrtle, they are practically 
non-flowering. Myrtle, we do not recommend, 
as it becomes a distinct nuisance. But if you 
want a good ground cover to plant under 
trees, where other flowers will not do well, 
plant Spurge. 
Other perennials that will grow under 
trees are Primroses and Astilbe, but you 
should see that they get fertility, and do not 
plant closer than 6 feet from the tree trunks 
And, there are some flowers that can do 
their best only when they have the fullest 
amount of sun that you can give them. In 
particular these are Delphiniums, Trollius, 
Carnations, Shasta Daisies, Heliopsis. Canter- 
bury Bells, Scabiosa, Hollyhocks, Foxgloves. 
Aquilegias and Cannas. 
Soil Preparation 
ies first thing to remember in preparing 
the soil is that plants need room. You 
cannot possibly have a good garden if you 
set your plants tightly together, or if you 
prepare a hole barely large enough to accom- 
modate the plant. For proper aeration, it 1s 
best to prepare a piece of ground much larger 
than needed for the particular plant you are 
setting. Of course, this advice seems hardly 
necessary, as most people plant in gardens 
where a piece of soil embracing many square 
feet will be prepared. But, still this must be 
said: do not plant your flowers too closely 
together. If you have a dozen plants to set. 
prepare for a dozen, and not for only four 
or five. A space 2% to 3 feet across is none 
too large for an Azaleamum, when you want 
a specimen plant such as the ones we show. 
Azaleamums spread to large size, and they 
need room. 







PROPER PLANTING OF AN AZALEA- 
MUM. Note the large area of soil pre- 
pared, depth of soil, and ball of earth 
about 1 inch under the soil’s surface 
after planting.
