CULTURE OF EVERGREEN LEWISIAS 
Our own careful experiments, together with reports front those who have suc¬ 
ceeded with them convince us as follows: 
1st. All species are hardy anywhere in the U. S. or Canada, or Europe. 
2nd. Drainage must be so perfect that water cannot stand at the roots and 
especially no excess moisture about or in axils of leaves. 
Situation. At our garden the summer temperature may reach 100 degrees in 
the shade. With anything near as hot, Lewisias do not survive in the sun. A 
situation where they have sun early in the day and shade throughout the heat 
of day is best. In cooler regions less shade is desirable. In very damp regions 
plant in full sun. 
Soils. A. % pea giavel, % sand and compost, and the balance peat moss is 
fine. B. A sandy silt which has a mixture of leaf mold has proved to be best 
of all. C. Veiy shaip sand, leaf mold, and a little peat moss gives healthy plants 
but growth seems to be less. 
Caution. To insure drainage of all moisture from the axils of the leaves, set 
the ciowns an inch high and fill around them with chip stone or pea size gravel.
