 sent a display that is most unusual and striking. After 

 having become established they will produce j'early 

 stout flower spikes that measure 6 to 10 feet in height.

 sandy loam enriched with well-rotted manure and In a 

 well-drained sheltered sunny position. Spread out the. 

 thick roots in their natural position, taking care that 

 they are not injured, as they are quite fragile. Place
