 and situation, and it 

 can be multiplied at 

 discretion by simply 

 lifting the large stools 

 and cutting them up 

 into a certain num-

 best effect is pro-

 fair-sized clumps at 

 along the 



shrubbery 

 and then 



them to 

 remain undisturbed 

 until they attain a 

 large size. The Tri- 

 toma, in common 

 with many other 

 hardy subjects of ro- 

 bust growth, makes 

 the most satisfactory 

 progress, when occu-

 deep rich soil, there-

 planted in borders 

 quite free from the 

 roots of large trees, 

 and receive a dress- 

 ing of manure annu- 

 ally, or once in two 

 years. Partly decayed 

 manure is the best, 

 and in applying it,

 Tritoma uvaria is frequently designated, is unquestion- 

 ably one of the most valuable hardy plants for producing
