TRITON IA — Continued. 
ical fertilizer should touch the roots. In 
severe climates they are best treated as 
gladioli bulbs, but where winters are not 
severe they maybe left in ground,mulch¬ 
ing with leaves or straw and a little soil.

and they will do equally well in the 
light shade of the perennial border or 
full sun.
