GROWING PERENNIALS 
We are convinced that the direct cause of many 
failures in growing plants has been the disregard of 
the natural tendencies and requirements of the plants 
being used. Some plants thrive in dry sandy soils, 
some in moist sandy loam, some in rocky situations, 
while others want very rich damp soil. 
In their native haunts some grow in dense shade, 
others like the diffused light of scattered forest or 
mountain side while still others want the broad sun- 
light. To disregard their preferences and natural 
habitats is to fail miserably in their cultivation. We 
are confident that the plants we supply will in every 
instance give satisfactory results if care and good 
judgment are used in their planting and cultivation.
