A generous mulching of well rotted manure during their grow¬ 
ing period and a liberal supply of water, will produce wonderful ef¬ 
fects; their flowers will be larger and of more intense color, and 
their foliage and whole growth much more luxuriant. 
They are perfectly hardy even in the most severe climate, and 
very rarely troubled with insect pests or disease of any kind, and 
once planted grow' in beauty each year with little further care.
