CULTIVATION. 
For Open Ground.—To get the best re-

Any good garden soil is suitable, but if 
mixed -with leaf mold and well-rotted cow 
manure better results will be obtained. 
The plants should be kept thoroughly 
mulched with well-rotted leaves. In this

November, and from middle of February 
to end of March.
