Wild Flowers 
Success with wild flowers is simply a matter of putting them 
in the soil, exposure and general climate to which they are 
accustomed. 
It is important to arrange gardens where as- 
sociated plants are grouped, rather than try to make artificial 
differences of soil in the same bed. Coddling is apt to do 
more harm than good.
