They are of the easiest culture; almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, rich loam; set the plants out in fall or early spring before the first of May—give them water occa- sionally during dry spells in the early part of the season; mulch with stable litter in fall; and they will increase in size and florifeiousness for several years. After flowering the plants die back, usually reap- pearing in early September, or as soon as the weather gets cool. During this resting period care should be taken in cultivating the beds that the roots are not disturbed, any disturbance at this time usually resulting in failure.
