early June. Growth rather slow, but when once established, a 
three-year-old clump is a magnificent sight. Only fresh, fall- 
sown seed will insure success. Spring sown seed, unless soaked 
in hot water for a few seconds, might lay dormant for a whole 
year. We had splendid success with seed sown last fall in flats; 
looked like a 100% germination; seedlings showed up in February 
and were transplanted in May. Our own seed, per pkt. 25c.
