CULTURE.-—They do best in rich soil and plenty of sun, 
but will grow in any good garden soil, and in almost any 
location excepting one very shady. The bulbs or tubers 
should be planted in April, about 4 inches deep and 30 
inches apart. An inch square stake, 3 or 4 feet long should 
be stuck a foot in the ground when the roots are planted, and 
the plants tied to it when about 2 feet high.
