Wild Flowers In Your Garden.

Wild flowers, always so attractive In the spring, should be taken up later when the weather becomes warmer, with roots attached, and planted on the north side of the house, where they will bloom for years to come. If not planted on the north side they must 'be sheltered in some manner. Take up a considerable^amount of earth with each plant and'do pot roots any more than can be helped, and plant as soon as possible in. deep, trenches partially filled with fertilizer >. and rich garden soil, for they demand rich soil. Violets will flourish in almost any part qf a garden, but the spring beauties and other fragile blossoms demand mixed shadow and sunshine. All wool ferns should be planted on the north side of the house. Maidenhair fern does best when planted in a crock and kept on the porch.
