injury from severe frosts, and, as a rule, it 

 should be planted along the front of a shrub- 

 bery facing souUi or near a wall. In the 

 southern counties of England it may be 

 planted in bold groups on the lawn with the 

 most satLsfactorv results. The stations 

 fihould be well drained, and the soil be 

 moderately light and rich. Very little prun- 

 ing will be required, and usually {ha removal 

 of a few of the most weakly shoobs and tak- 

 ing the tops off the stronger ones will alone 

 be nect'ssarv. The robust II. panioulata gran- 

 diHora. wliich produces huge pyramidal 

 flower heads, can be succe^^^f ally grown in 

 the open on both heavy and light soils. You 

 will hnd it singularly effective both in large 

 ma-ses on the lawn and in bold groups in 

 tin* shruhhcry border. When grown in 

 gn»u|js the Nh(M)ts produced in the previous 

 season should be cut back to within a few 

 inches of the ^oil.
