This is a good time to plant field-grown clumps of delphinium. They will flower in a very short time and some of the specimens you buy may already have flowers. Delphinium prefers a sweet soil and the addition of lime at planting time should prove of value. Keep the crowns of the plants above the soil at planting time.

Be sure that the planting hole in which roses are put is large enough. Do not try to crowd the root system in a space that can not accommodate the plant. Make a mound of dirt at the bottom of the hole and carefully drape the roots over this formation. The roots should be placed so they enter the soil at an angle of about 30 degrees.

Bare root fruit trees, shrubs and shade trees, as well as roses, should be transplanted now to your garden. The roots of these plants must not be allowed to dry out. If the planting hole is not ready when they arrive, they should be "heeled in." This means, setting them in a shallow ditch so only the top growth protrudes. The" root section should be covered with soil and kept damp until planting time.
