world how America produces.
But before they can start their

groomed for competition.

cimens are generally poor

ciSions.

Cover Roots

When the root is covered and
Just the eyes are left showing,
water well. Then fill in the
hole and firm the soil.
Roots or divisions which have
3-5 eyes will probably bloom
in spring 1886, those with $40
eyes should bloom next year.
Make your divisions or buy your
roots accordingly.
The usual commercially avail
able root Is the 3-5 eye size but
by paying more II Is possible 70
buy the larger division, thus
seeing your new flowers year
earlier.
