 MISCELLANEOUS BULBS FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING 



EREMURUS Himalaicus. Majestic, tuberous-rooted plant A noble orna- 



_ nieiil in flower garden or on the lawn. The individual flowers, 



of peach-pink color and very fragrant, are closely ai ranged on stately spikes 6 to lo 

 feet high, forming a magnificent column of bloom during June and July. Give a 

 sunny position, sheltered from gales; plant the tubers in the fall, while dormant, 

 and set about 8 inches deep. Although hardy, it will be safer in northern states to 

 protect with 4 or 6 inches of leaves, straw, manure or similar covering, to prevent 

 the young growth, which starts very early, from being tipped from late freezes. 

 Strong flowering roots, ready in November. $1.25 each, $12 per doz. 



Ry^'JsJUNCULUS Boddington's Giant. Gorgeous dwarf flowers, easily 



grown in pots for winter blooming, or in coldframes for 



spring. Eight roots may be potted in a 6-inch bulb-pan ; they should be covered one 

 inch. The colors include shades of white, yellow, crimson mid purple, some being 

 almost black. They are very effective for decoration, either as pot-plants or cut.
