PERENNIALS FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES : Page 594

garden flowers seldom grow in nature together. Most of the gardenflowering plants demand ample sunlight for their best development.For those who develop homes, and attempt the making of a flowergarden on areas covered with dense shade of large trees, it is impossibleto provide the ideal flower garden which one may have wished so oftento possess. Trees must be sacrificed, or soil conditions will be too wetor too dry. Spreading roots from such trees will steal plant food fromthe garden, and sunlight so essential for the development of fineflowers will be shut out. The true garden lover who realizes thatplants, like human beings, thrive only in congenial and healthfulsurroundings will either love and preserve his trees or will have thecourage of his convictions to remove unnecessary trees and giveto his flower garden ideal conditions of air and sunlight. Morningsunlight is generally considered more effective in producing plantgrowth than afternoon sunlight.
