LARGE TRUMPET II3 



manured soils rich in vegetable humus it resents, 

 thriving best in a well-drained, coarse loam. Under 

 congenial conditions, it produces splendid large flowers 

 with deep yellow perianths and large, rich yellow trum- 

 pets. It is one of the earliest of all large trumpets to 

 bloom. Annual lifting is advisable as it becomes dormant 

 early, and new root action soon begins — replanting should 

 therefore be done not later than September.
