EREMURUS, 



Robustus. A noble and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan, and one of the 

 choicest subjects for the permanent hardy border. They thrive best in a 

 well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, and prefer a deep, sandy loam, to 

 which has been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted cow manure. A cov- 

 ering of 4 or 5 inches of leaves or litter will be beneficial and save the young 

 shoots, which start early, and are liable to be damaged by late frosts. It 

 produces immense flower stems, 6 to 10 feet high, bearing a dense raceme 

 of flesh pink flowers, each nearly 2 inches across. (See cut.) Extra 

 strong flowering roots (ready in October). 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Himalaicus. Another noble variety from the temperate Himalayan moun- 

 tains, 4 to 8 feet high. Raceme nearly 2 feet long, of lovely pure white 

 flowers, as large as a fifty-cent piece. This is perhaps the hardiest and 

 easiest grown of this magnificent genus. Strong flowering roots (ready in 

 October), 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.
