VERBASCUM—Mullein 
Verbascums, commonly known as mulleins, have 
been greatly improved in recent years. We know of no 
plants more noble or picturesque than these newer va¬ 
rieties. Their pyramidal spikes, towering up among 
other border plants are just the flowers to give the 
whole border a light, graceful and most natural appear¬ 
ance. 
Roots should be given a good, deep soil, but well 
drained and very sandy. When the stems are cut down 
in the fall cover the crowns well with ashes or sand. 
The crown may sometimes appear to be dead, but the 
roots are still alive and should not be disturbed.
