do influence! height or intensity of color in some 
varieties. 
All plants are grown in soils of proper texture 
for the development of" large, thrifty root systems.

GROWING ADVICE 
All perennial plants do well in any good garden 
soil that is well drained. If your soil needs added 
humus or fertility, well rooted manure, whenever 
obtainable, should be' worked into it. Some plants 
have a preference as to growing conditions. Any 
special instruction will be given in the description 
of each variety listed. 
If you have any gardening problems we will be 
glad to be of assistance to you.
