We received this іп 1825: it is a native 
of the western parts of North America» 
is much taller than any of the other kinds, 
and flowers abundantly in June and July, 
when it is very shewy. 
There is no difficulty in increasing it by 
separating the roots in spring, being quite 
hardy: they will thrive either in the full 
ground or in pots, in loamy soil.
