lawn areas where planting should be practically completed during thefirst two seasons. Experience has taught those who have watched thistype of plantations develop that a great percentage of loss must beanticipated, for two reasons: In the first place, plants are placed underabnormal conditions of lack of sunlight, and second, the availableartificial water supply is apt to be very limited. The process ofnaturalizing plants and acclimating them to conditions of this kindmust naturally be a slow process if the results when the work is com-pleted are to be a success from a landscape standpoint. It is quite essential in naturalizing perennials in a wild gardenthat conditions similar to those under which the plant was previouslygrowing should be reproduced. A number of wild garden develop-ments have at different times become failures because as trees havedied, thus changing the conditions of shade, these trees have not beenreplaced, and the result is that this changing of shade conditions hascaused the killing out of many types of perennials which are especiallysusceptible to changed conditions of this character. |
