TROLLIUS 
They produce a good crop of light lemon to deep orange flowers in the month of 
May. Following this crop, if growing conditions are normal, occasionally they will 
have flowers during the entire summer. In the month of September when the 
weather is again cool, they come back with a fairly good crop which remains until 
cut down by frost. 
We have developed exceptionally nice plants. Our soil condition is ideal. Trol- 
lius will grow best on damp cool bottom soil. If you are in position to plant in 
similar soil, they will give you an abundance of flowers throughout the season. 
You will be proud to show them to your friends.
