After blooming is fairly over, choose a piece of ground sheltered from
the midday sun, if moist but yet drained, so much the better, plant out
in rows a foot apart, and six inches in the row, place a little deeper
than before, which will cause them to push out side roots. If dry give
a good watering when planted and an occasional repetition, in case of
drought through the summer; no further care is required, unless Red
Spider, or Aphides should attack, when a good syringing with soap-suds,
will speedily eradicate them.
The following list, containing twelve of the best in each class, is from
