The Bloodroot is a showv spring flower usttally found 

 in woodland, but not a true shade-loving plant, since its 

 growth is, to a great extent, made before the foliage of 

 the trees expands. In cultivation it prefers a rather 

 light si.il, but will grow anywhere. It will do as well in 

 sunlight as in shade and will even grow amongst grass. 

 if care be taken not to nmw down tlie leaves until it 

 has perfected the root growth and buds for the f'.dlow- 

 ing season. The roots are best trausplanteii after the 

 leaves have ripened, until the autumn ri"K:it grow-th com- 

 mences, but they may be moved when the plants are in 



flower. Tlie roots are ollereil at such hoc prices by col 

 lectors thai the lilaiit should li,. used lo a imcdi greater 

 extetil for spring ii-ardenin;^-.
