This is an old-fashioned type which never 

 has lost its favor. The blooms have a rich 

 spicy odor that is most delightful. They are 

 perfectly hardy taking care of themselves 

 and after once having been planted in a 

 suitable place they will increase freely for 

 many years to come. They do well planted 

 in the open border, naturalized in grass, or 

 in the open woodland.
