HARDINESS LINE: On a U. S. Map draw a 
line from the Northwest tip of the State of Okla- 
homa to Cleveland, Ohio and from Cleveland to 
Boston, Mass. Some varieties, usually with ever- 
green foliage, suffer injury and sometimes winter 
kill North of this line. 
EVERGREEN refers to the foliage of varieties 
that remain evergreen throughout the winter in 
the far South. This class is less hardy North. North 
of the “Hardiness Line” they require good drainage 
Spring planting and winter mulching. 
SPRING OR SUMMER TRANSPLANT- 
ENG is recommended in localities North of the 
“Hardiness Line’’. 
FIRST YEAR RESULTS: Early blooming 
varieties planted in Spring may fail to bloom until 
the following Spring. Do not judge any variety 
the first year as the performance with respect to 
flower size, color, plant height and branching are 
all below par. 
PLANET DAWLELMIES with bleached line on 
foliage at ground level, or with root crown approxi- 
mately 1% inches below surface. 
REURLCHIENG: A first winter mulch is desirable. 
The purpose is to protect the crown and the top soil 
a few inches around it from winter and early Spring 
thawing. Do not use soggy material. A nest of 
excelsior is good.
