GEUM - Avens 
They belong among the number one hardy garden flowers. Neat in habit, 
non-crowding, excellent foliage effect when not in bloom. Such virtues 
along with their charming flowers all help to make them popular. In the 
foreground of the hardy border they look their best. Fire Opal, Lady i 
Stratheden, and Rijnstroom, all recently introduced, are excellent and 
quite hardy, although for very cold sections of the country we would H 
suggest Potentillas be used in their place. They, as the Geums, are noted ' 
for their fine foliage and good habit when not in bloom. 
Culture. All succeed in good, ordinary soil in sunny borders. They, how- 
ever, require plenty of moisture in summer. Best grown in groups. Plant ; 
in autumn or spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. If planted in fall it is well to | 
protect them carefully for the winter.
