It could be as beautiful a garden as you‘d find anywhere, from early spring to late fall. Almost as soon as snow had left, you‘d have crocuses and snowdrops poking their heads up to let you know spring had officially arrived! Then early in May you‘d begin havâ€" ing a regular parade of blososmsâ€" long â€" before most annual flowers were anywhere near ready to bloom. First would come scarlet and yelâ€" low masses of tulips, and fragrant liliesâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"valley. Then you‘d begin having peoniesâ€"creamy white, pink, and the lovely dark crimson ones. And irisâ€"deep blue, violet, yellow, soft grey. Then as it got into June you‘d be having big, creamyâ€"white Shasta daisies. And soon your larkspur would be in bloom, splendid blue spires standing high in corner clumps and against your fence. And hollyhocks would be coming along, pink and white and scarlet, towerâ€" ing even above the larkspur. By July your borders would be blazing with phlox in almost every color of the rainbow. Here and there you‘d have a clump of crimson and gold gaillardia. And of course you‘d have gladiolus, blossoming all sumâ€" mer and into the fall, with varieties of color beyond description. In preparing the soil for perenâ€" nial plants, spade it to a depth of six or eight inches, and then pulverâ€" ize it thoroughly. Mix in some comâ€" plete plant food, using a pint of it to each 25 square feet. Water the plants thoroughly when you‘re putting them into the ground, and keep them moist for at least a week. Remember this: Just because perâ€" ennials are growing well and seem to need little care, you can‘t comâ€" pletely neglect them. Some variâ€" eties don‘t thrive unless you cut their flowers regularly. Others need to be transplanted now and then; iris always does better if you take the bulbs up and separate them every third year or so. Some, like gladiolus and dahlias, need to be taken indoors for the winter. But most important, all perennials must be fed! All through the growing season they‘re drawing eleven difâ€" ferent food elements from the soil. Sooner or later these elements beâ€" come exhausted, and unless you reâ€" place them the plants will die. So I‘d strongly recommend that you give your perennials a square meal this spring. Use a plant food that supplies all eleven of the food eleâ€" ments they need from the soil, in balanced proportions. Four pounds of it per 100 square feet applied to your flower borders will keep them blossoming strongly all summer long. And so into September, when one of the finest perennials of al} would come into flowerâ€"your chrysantheâ€" mums. â€" And with them would be your hardy asters and manyâ€"colored dahlias. And of course these are only a few of the hundreds of varâ€" ieties you could have . . . Now here are some things that should be emphasized about growâ€" ingâ€" perennials. . I‘ve found it hardly pays to try to raise them from seed. It‘s very little more exâ€" pensive to buy plants or bulbs from a good reliable nursery, and your results are quicker and surer.
