Betty Lou 
(Above.) Here’s a bit of beauty for you right from Fairyland. 
Nothing really true could be so beautiful—or so it seems, at least! 
Color is pretty white—yes, very pretty—delicately tinged with pink 
near the center, which spreads blushingly toward the ends of the 
petals, to produce a charming out-of -this-world beauty. Vigorous and 
healthy, moderately tall growing. Mulch for winter protection, and 
Betty Lou will come through. Prices below left.

HOW TO GROW THEM 

to protect your plants as above indicated. 
Correct shipping time normally covers 
a period of four or five weeks. 
If Azaleamum and other potted plants 
arrive with the tops broken, do not worry, as 
they will grow anyway. The roots are the im- 
portant part of the plant. 
If bare-rooted plants should arrive be- 
fore you are ready to plant, simply open the 
package and expose the tops, but leave the 
moss on the roots. If the moss on the roots is 
dry, you may water it a little, but be careful 
not to wet the foliage and crowns. Too much 
moisture on the foliage and crowns may 
cause rotting, if you have to keep the plants 
any length of time. In any event, keep them 
in a cool, dark place. 

Heeling In 
THE TRENCH ABOVE IS PROPERLY 
DUG for heeling-in. Don’t forget to firm the 
soil well, then give it a thorough soaking. 
But, the best thing to do, if you have to 
keep the plants for some time, is to heel them 
in. Select a good spot in your garden or near 
the house, well protected from sun and wind; 
then dig a V-shaped trench and “layer” the 
plants along the sides of the trench with the 
crowns just even with the surface. Now, fill 
in with earth, and tramp it down well. Press 
it down solidly with the feet, then scatter a 
little loose dirt on top, or cover the soil with 
burlap, or some other material such as straw. 
The plants will keep for days and even weeks 
this way and often will even be in better con- 
dition for transplanting than if planted 
directly from the package. 
Heeling in is particularly beneficial 
should plants arrive dry or otherwise in poor 
condition. It can be used as a reviving pro- 
cess for such plants. 
Planting Arrangements 
ITH so many different kinds of flowers 
being offered, it would be impossible 
for us to give much advice regarding plant- 
ing arrangements. Actually, this is a matter
