Study your planting and see where they may be placed to make the best display. Clumps of a dozen to twenty-five make the finest show. As you decide where you will place them, drive a stake and allow it to project an inch or two. This will guide you next fall and you will secure the effect you have in mind. As your bulbs, tulips, narcissus and others end their period of bloom, do not be in a hurry to remove their foliage. Until it has dried up and turned yellow or brown, its work of maturing the bulb is not complete. Even though it may be unsightly you can ill afford to cut it off and sacrifice the bulbs that will bloom another year. This also applies to bulbs that are naturalized in the grass. Don't cut the grass till the bulb foliage matures. When the buds begin to develop on your peonies it will pay to give them a Tight application of liquid manure. This will stimulate them to produce larger and more perfect blooms. Don't overdo it or you may cause the plant to produce weak watery growth inclined to fall prey to disease. Peonies need lots of water during the weeks just before their blossoms open, in fact if they are planted in a well drained soil it is almost impossible to over water them at this time. Don't neglect cultivation either as this has much to do with the quality of blooms. Just as soon as the soil warms up and dries out sufficiently to be worked, you may plant seeds of the annuals in the open ground. It is unwise to hurry with this task because as long as the ground is cold and wet, seeds will not germinate. If you have a hot bed or cold frame where you can control the moisture, then you do not need to wait upon the weather. Poppies, nasturtiums, lavatera, lupines, mignonette and candytuft are generally best sown where they are to bloom. Many others will do nicely sown in their blooming places while some kinds do better if transplanted. Transplanting encourages a branching root system and together with pinching back the tops results in sturdy vigorous plants that bloom profusely. Among the annuals one gardener particularly praised a scheme of edging he has used and it sounds good enough to pass on. He mixes two kinds of sweet alyssum seed, four parts of that known as "Carpet of Snow" and one part of "Lilac Queen". The result is a delightful, irregular edging that charms all who see it. The usefulness of such an edging can be greatly advanced by shearing the plants when they show signs of ending their blooming. This will cause them to burst forth again and bloom better than ever. Another combination of annuals is the blue cornflower, Centaurea cyanus, and calliopsis; especially effective are these two planted among iris that have done flowering. Like the sweet alyssum they will respond to shearing when their first crop of bloom is over. Experiment will develop many delightful combinations or groupings of plants and you will enjoy your garden all the more as you study and improve it.
