deciduous shrub or tree, receiving the shade during the 
Summer months but getting the light during the Fall and 
Winter months. They will thrive in a soil of rich loam, 
coarse sand, some peat moss and a top-dressing of well- 
rotted manure. Prefer a moist, but well-drained position. 
They resent being disturbed after having been established.

border and woodland garden and for distinctive flower ar- 
rangements. Space plants 15 to 18 inches and do not dis- 
turb.
