Very showy and stately early spring-blooming plants. The flowers are bell-shaped, and are borne in a whorl at the top of the plant, which grows from 3 to 4 feet high; will grow well in any good garden soil. At the time of planting the soil should be deeply dug and well manured. They should be planted two or three in a clump, 6 inches deep, and then left alone for years. When established they flower abundantly, and the stems should not be cut off, but allowed to decay naturally. A slight covering during the winter is beneficial. (See cut.) Superfine Mixed. Including red, yellow and shades of orange. 15 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100.
