PLANTS FOR SHADY PLACES 
_ Very few plants actually require shade, but some will endure it better than others. Flowering, 
fruiting, and fall color are diminished by shade, and the more shady the spot the harder it is for the 
plant to grow. Plants that seem to require shade are marked *. ;

Wet soils should be drained, if possible, by tiling or ditching. Some plants will grow in wet 
tides spots but they do not require such conditions, they simply withstand wet soil better than other 
plants

PLANTS FOR DRY SOILS 
Some soils are so dry that no plants will grow well. In other soils, plants will need extra water- 
ing for several years until they have become established. The following plants have the ability to 
withstand dry soils better than others, but bear in mind that all these plants will perform better in 
normal soils.

A Relaxing and Rewarding Hobby — 
THE HOME NURSERY 
The home nursery saves money, but more than that, it offers a wholesome hobby. 
Just a small plot of ground with a few inexpensive evergreens is enough to start with. 
You will enjoy weeding, watering, watching them grow. 
The home nursery may consist of only a row of little plants, or it may have sev- 
eral rows. It may have a shaded bed, a heeling-in area, or a cold frame. Some means 
of watering is necessary for baby plants, and the soil should be well drained. For 
azaleas, rhododendrons and most evergreens, you will need some peat moss to mix 
with the soil. Almost any corner of your yard or garden will do. For further infor- 
mation, send for our free leaflet “Suggestions for Home Nursery”’. 
Many people buy baby plants because they will need larger plants in a few years 
for re-landscaping or for additional landscaping. They know that a plant costing a 
dollar or less will be worth several dollars in only a few years. 
Other customers buy our baby plants just for fun, because they love to grow 
them. Some growers have living collections, such as a collection of azalea species, 
or broadleaf evergreens, or perhaps just various plants that are rare or unusual. 
Whatever the reason, if you buy from. Green Ridge Nursery you can be sure of 
getting first rate plants, properly grown and carefully packed for shipment. If for 
any reason the plants are not in good condition when you receive them, we replace 
the plants or return your money.
