BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1916, 
x DAHLIAS, Pot-grown Dry Roots, ready to send out in November. 
If these are started into growth early in March and grown on, they will bloom much earlier 
than plants from cuttings, a great advantage where Dahlias are required either for decoration in the 
garden or for cutting. For descriptive list of Dahlias, see Barr’s Spring Bulb Catalogue.

EREMURUS (Fox Tail Lily), a noble family of hardy plants which we can strongly recom- 
mend for grouping in large flower and shrubbery borders, where their stately flower spikes 
are seen to advantage. The flowering season extends from May to July. They delight in a 
situation protected from the morning sun and sheltered from high winds, and should be 
given a good loamy soil. In the case of the earlier flowering species it is well to protect 
the crowns when first appearing with a little light material such as dry heather, l’lant from 
September to December.
