(nm's liav(^ lak(^n lln^ir annual parlial decay and new blossoming buds are 
bluing brougbl. forward and n(nv roollets are now growing f(n' Ibe following 
season. '.rrilliums should l)o sel out before^. Hieir new growth starts so 
tliat every new rootlet shall bo sent forth in the soil in which the plant, is Lo 
blossom. If dug later and set out they may blossom, but you cannot get full 
value for your money if you allow the rhizome to grow a crop of new root- 
lets. Tear them off in digging and grow others. Again you cannot han(jle 
these plants with large blossoming crowns without injui'ing the coming 
llowers. For this plant we recomnumd July as tln^ proper month. W^^ hsive 
set out Trillium bulbs in April and secu.red llowers the same y(\ir, but they 
are inferior to whal the bulbs would r'.o if planted the pr(H^eding July. .Vgaui 
Trilli\ims set out in April may blossom all right but with m) roollets to feed 
tlie plant the entire effort comes from the rhizome and weakens il for Ibe 
next year. We state tlie best time lo plant each bulb. (dc. together witii the 
price. Any plant can be succ(\ssfully transj^lanted in fall or spring ])ul r(n'
