Gardeners' Checklist for Season Planting and Pruning
Gardeners are advised to divide perennials like Shasta Daisy Phlox Coral Bella and others now for stronger growth. Canna roots and Amaryllis bulbs can be planted, Lily of the Valley splits, and Geraniums Pelargoniums pruned to two or three buds for bushier plants. Gladiolus are first available for planting. stagger bulb plantings every few weeks to extend bloom. Deciduous fruit trees should be pruned at planting time and nurserymen can demonstrate proper technique.
