Forsyth ia suspensa trained as a climber on a south wall is benefited by such covering, or by burlaps, as its sheltered position induces activity too early and its flowering buds become a victim to late frosts. Any rhizomatous iris, such as the German iris, should be planted where surface drain- age is ample, and in the case of young plants, or those recently divided, not covered with heavy manure, or they are likely to decay in wet weather. Cover such plants with light material. Old established plants seldom need protection. Pyrethrum roseum requires similar conditions and treatment. All lilies except the hardiest, such as L. tigrinum, elegans, Canadensis, superbum, Philadelphicum, speciosum, tenuifolium, etc., are best covered by a mound of ashes —wood or coal —which retains an even temperature. The other iilies may be mulched with manure and L. candidum with leaves. Eremurus in all its species, and Alstro- meria aurantiaca, require a deep box of leaves and the surrounding soil well mulched. An inverted V-shaped trough placed over .iuch low edging plants as Veronica circceoides and Thymus Serpyllum, var. montanus, is beneficial. It is well to take up a few plants of Manarda didyma, the double perennial sunflower, and Thymus Serpyllum, and winter them in a coldframe, over which. 2732.
