SPECIES AND RARE HYBRIDS 
This list includes most of the species and a critical selection of the 
hybrids of American and foreign introduction. The season of bloom has 
been checked in my garden, 
Culture. They may be planted in the spring or fall. Personally, I like 
fall planting. Set crown about 3 in. deep in rich garden loam. If soil is 
light and sandy it should be improved by the liberal addition of well-decayed 
cow manure, well mixed with rich loam. After ground has frozen give a 
light mulch for winter protection.
