Jianadian Garden Service-—1941l (By Gordon Lindsay Smith) Too much stress cannot be laid on planning, especially where perennial flowers. shrubs and trees are concerned. All these things are small when originally planted, but in a few years it is surprising how much room they take up. The aver- age person plants them far too close together and in the case of trees and shrubs. far too close to the house or fences. As a general rule. shrubs. trees and flowers should have half as much room between as their ma- ture height. This means st least. two feet apart for peonlea. three and o. half feet for the ordinary spires, and twenty-five to fifty feet for the general run of Cansdaln hardwood trees. lAt first this may seem far too open, but the space may be taken up with annual flowers. in the case of a perennial bed, and with tem- porary, quick-growing sllrubbery and trees, with the others. In fact. many gardeners now use perman- cntly a mixture of annual plan's in their perennial borders. in the case of trees. it ls a well-establish- ed fact that nature uses tho quick- growinlz poplar as a sort of nurse crop for ines.
