Townsendia Wilcoxiana (Colorado). 
Where early flowers are required this plant is 
very useful. It is of quite easy growth, and should 
be planted in a well-drained place on the south side of 
a rock, in any ordinary loam. The site selected for

Plant on the flat. Prepare a hole 18in. deep 
and 2ft. square, on the shady side of a Yew hedge 
or evergreen bush in any aspect. If the position 
selected is a very damp one, place 3in. of rubble in 
the bottom of the hole. Fill in with gin. of rough
