_Hardy Perennials succeed well in almost_any location, but in general prefer a full exposure to the sun. Any good garden ; e 
soil suits them, if well enriched with Bone Meal, or well rotted barnyard manure. Frequent loosening of the soil during } 
summer, and watering freely in dry weather, are the essentials after planting. A light covering of manure in fall is not a f 
necessity, but is beneficial as a winter protection and enricher of the soil. The manure, if rotted, is usually dug into the 7: 
ground in spring.
