These plants are mostly perfectly hardy and come up from the roots each year and grow stronger 
and better as they get older. 
Prices quoted include postage, if wanted by parcel poBt. Of some of the varieties we have extra 
large clumps which will answer for specimen plants and are quoted under the different headings where 
we have them to offer.
