top-dress the soil with leafmold.
If you have a corner : 01 tru-

leafmold each year. Remember
how the trilliums grow inches

While the lambs' tongues (or dog

not crave leafmold to the degree
the trilliums do, a little top dress

good rich top-dressing. Calla lilies
can be made to do wonderfully
well out-of-doors, if given pro-
ner treatment.
