Eremurus Himdlaicua 



MISCELLANEOUS BULBS FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING, continued 



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



int lit in lldvver-garden or on the lawn. The individual flowers 



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

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

 sunny position, slieltered 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 to 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, that is roots that will flower the first season, ready in Each Doz.

 the blos.soms appear like clusters of pink Glo.xinias. It is e.xtremely decorative and 

 quite easily grown. (See illustration below.) Strong roots, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per
