Hardy Perennial Plants 1932 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Hardy Ferns and Flowers, 1932 Soils. Some of the larger-growing Ferns can be grown with extremely good results in ordinary garden soil in a shady location, yet, if we intend to imitate Nature, it will be necessary to furnish, for many of our Ferns, better conditions than are found in the ordinary garden. In planting Ferns it is well to prepare the soil by making it very fine, then adding, if practicable, leaf - mold so as to make the soil very light and porous. If the planter does not have at his disposal a sloping piece of ground and is anxious to have Ferns in his garden, it will be well to raise the bed 2 to 3 inches in which they are planted. This will produce the drainage conditions necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
