How to 
PERENNIALS 
THE SOIL should be well 
worked and free of big lumps 



















and air pockets. The average 
planting distance for peren- 
nials is 1 foot apart, but vig- 
orous growers require as 
much as 3 feet apart. Plants 
such as Iris should be planted 
with the main root just below 
the surface of the ground. 
Plants such as Peonies should 
be planted with the tips of the 
buds at or just below the sur- 
face of the ground. Plants in 
which the leaves spring from 
a crown should be planted 
with this crown on the level 
of the dirt line. Plants such 
as Hollyhocks should be 
planted with the root straight 





down and the bud just below 

cans planted 
as shrubs 

the surface of the dirt. Spread 



all roots out naturally. Bring 
the soil in contact with all 
roots and press firmly. When 
the plants are watered, water 
the roots and not the tops.
