Directions. — We send you most of these in strong roots. 

 Allow from i>^ to 4 square feet of space for each. After the 

 first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to within 3 inches 

 of the ground, and give the bed a good coat of half-rotted manure, 

 which will protect the plants and enrich the ground; dig this 

 under in the spring before new growth starts.
