 autumn than these, with their almost endless variety 

 of form and colors, ranging- from the purest snowy

 of brilliant yellows and deep reds. Set out the plants 

 in a sunny, sheltered location, in good rich soil, using 

 plenty of well-rotted cow manure. Water freely and 

 keep well cut back until the first of August. If
