THIS class of plants has been a leading specialty with us for years; absolutely hardy without protection, 

 and once planted lasts indefinitely. Useful for clumps, masses, hedges, screens and for filling unsightly 

 corners. Their culture is exceedingly simple. When received cut the plants back about one-third their 

 growth. Set about three feet apart. Water freely when planted. They may be planted up until severe 

 freezing weather. We recommend Fall planting.
