Perfectly hardy. May be planted in solid rows 
or large groups along the back yard walk, border¬ 
ing shrubbery, in the narrow space along founda¬ 
tions, or they may be planted in the garden.

high honor and garden prominence. For beauti¬ 
ful effects, plant varieties in groups of six of a 
kind. Very hardy and will grow in any soil. 
Large plants furnished.
