WILD FLOWERS MAY
BE TRANSPLANTED
Some Bulbous Plants Bear Re-
moval Without Complaint
if Given Good Site.

1t is a common rule among flower
growers that plant should not be dis
turbed when in bloom. Yet in the
case of the dubious wild flowers,
which die to the ground soon after
blooming and are with difficulty To-
Gated, there is a convenient excep-
ton; most of them bear removal with
out complaint II accorded a site SINH
lar to the native home. and not few
readily adapt themselves to the cul-
ture of garden or lawn.
A notable illustration is that OF the
spring beauty, the carmine-penciled
petals of which appear in the first
spring days. A little later the yellow
adder's tongue is in its glory. Both
may be grown in grass or garden, and
as they die to the ground early no OBJ
struction is offered to the lawn womer.
The bulbs grow about as much below
the surface as the leaf extends above

planting.
