CAREFREE GARDENS fez BUSY PEOPLE! 
This year Ivy Hill Forest is directing your attention to plants that need little or 
no care, chiefly those known to the botanist as ericaceous plants. For the most part, 
these are shallow-rooted, need no cultivation, and seldom need to be weeded. Their 
only requirements are to have adequate moisture and humus, peat or leaves around the 
base to conserve moisture and the occasional application of nutrients. See instructions 
enclosed in each package. 
All of the types offered are native to or will grow in the deciduous woodland areas 
of the world. It is in these areas that many of the loveliest trees, shrubs and perennials 
flourish naturally. Among them are the azaleas, rhododendrons, hollies and other 
broad-leaved evergreens. 
Any householder, through the application of simple rules of culture, can grow 
Perkie Plants of this year’s offering, and from small plants at very little cost can produce 
landscape specimens that would cost hundreds of dollars if purchased in larger sizes.

the market only at luxury prices.
