Very beautiful, hardy, na¬

garden provided care is ex¬ 
ercised in planting. Ground 
should be well prepared by 
adding a good proportion of 
humus, such as peat or 
muck. While the roots pre¬ 
fer a wet soil, the plant will 
not tolerate having its crown 
immersed; therefore should 
be planted on little hum¬ 
mocks in wet soil. The 
hummocks should be raised 
high enough to prevent 
water standing over crown 
and shade should be pro¬ 
vided.
