Both double and single are equally desirable, and no garden should be without them. They are suitable for pot or border culture, and when planted in masses are most effective. They succeed best in a light, rich, well-drained loam. Plant in October or November, or as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. If planted in the au- tumn, they should be covered with leaves, straw or long manure on the approach of winter. For pot culture, fill with any rich, porous compost, with good drain- age, planting 4 roots in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold-frame, or any moderately cool situation, giving very little water until the plants ap- pear, then remove to the greenhouse or sitting-room window.
