HOW TO GROW THEM 

it is needed. It does help to “unlock” fertil- 
izer already in the soil, and so although it is 
not a fertilizer, as just stated, it does seem 
to act like one. Do not apply peat moss on 
top of the soil, as it pulls moisture from the 
soil and prevents its benefiting the plants. 
How to Plant 
OST perennial plants are furnished to 
you in one of two “styles”. They are 
supplied either with bare roots, or pot-grown, 
with a ball of earth on the roots. Planting 
methods, of course, are different. 
In the spring, we supply Azaleamum 
plants out of 2-inch pots, and oversize plants 
out of 3-inch pots. In planting either, see that 
the top of the ball of earth around the roots 
is just about one inch under the surface of 
the soil. 
Then, press that soil firm, and here is 
an important point; gentle “love-patting” 
with your hands is not enough to firm the 
soil. You need real pressure, and the best way 
to give sufficient pressure is to press the soil 
all around the plant with your feet, getting 
the weight of your body into the job. 
We hear a lot about the “green thumb”. 
People who have a “green thumb”, seem to 
have the knack of getting anything to grow 
but we wonder if really a better expression 
would not be “green feet”, because we con- 
sider this firming of the soil so important. 
and are opposed to the use of the hands. and 
much in favor of using the feet. Be firm with 
your plants when they are young, and they 
will grow into healthy, vigorous adults with 
character.

WE SHOW THE ABOVE PICTURE for 
emphasis on the fact that the soil should 
be pressed well after planting. This brings 
it into close contact with the roots, causing 
water to rise by capillary attraction. Thus 
the plants get a quick and vigorous start.
