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.
