ETHICS <br /> Any nursery used should be one that propagates its own <br /> plants and does not dig them from the wild. Nursery grown <br /> plants, for the most part, are hardier and will survive <br /> transplanting better. This is especially true of trees and <br /> shrubs in the larger, sizes. If a nursery does dig wild <br /> plants, two ethical questions might be asked: <br /> 1 . Are the plants common enough such that their removal <br /> will not deplete dwindling native propulations? <br /> 2 . Will the nursery guarantee them for at least two grow- <br /> ing seasons? <br /> Wild plants should not be dug from any public lands. Private <br /> landowners ' permission should be obtained before digging any <br /> plants from their lands . <br /> PLANT NAMES \ <br /> Upo n embarking on a landscaping project, you will be con- <br /> fronted by ' a bewildering array of Latin (scientific) names <br /> for plants - some as long as nine syllables ! As formidable <br /> as these may seem, you are best. advised to use them (at <br /> least in your correspondence - you can avoid pronunciation <br /> this way! ) to insure that the plants you get are exactly <br /> the. ones you want. When a common name is used, the nursery <br /> might substitute a non-native or hybrid variety. This has- <br /> happened from time to time to many people . <br /> LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> The Madison municipal. code and local utilities have various <br /> rules and regulations relating to planting on City lands and <br /> utility easements. Before you start planning, the City <br /> should be consulted in relation to where your property lines <br /> are located. Also local utilities should be contacted to <br /> determine the location of any underground lines they might <br /> have in the area. <br /> MAINTENANCE <br /> An idea that is implicit in this booklet is the need for the <br /> person who is landscaping in this manner to be aware that <br /> maintenance is still necessary. <br /> Sunlit plantings, for example, are often plagued by quack <br /> grass and thistles. Proper site preparation can help you <br /> reduce this. The books listed at the end, of this booklet <br /> can provide you with a great deal of information. <br /> 17 <br />
