tinue to throw up its gorgeous spikes of splen- 
did flowers the whole season, until the ground 
‘is hard frozen, It is quite hardy here, when 
given a light covering of leaves or garden litter, 
but further north the roots should be lifted and 
kept in the cellar over Winter, buried in sand. 
Early frosts do not hurt it, or keep it from 
blooming, and it continues as brilliant as ever 
long after other flowers are gone. It is unsur- 
passed for cutting, and its grand flame-colored 
| pompons will keep for weeks in water. Can
