EREMURUS himalaicus. Desert Candle. A 
wonderful perennial from Asia, mostly 
used as a specimen plant or in large borders. 
It has majestic white flower-spikes and 
stalks growing from 6 to 8 feet high. We 
consider it one of the most striking plants 
in large gardens. It should be planted in 
rich, moist, but well-drained soil. A cover 
of leaves should be given in fall, and in 
spring it is advisable to protect the flower- 
stalks against late frost. When planting 
same, spread the roots horizontally and 
place the eye only about 1 inch below the 
surface of the soil. $2.50 and $3.50 each.

Epimedium pinnatum elegans 
Erica • Heath 
The majority of these Heaths are compact and low-growing, 
extremely useful for rockeries. The small foliage is densely ar¬ 
ranged around the wiry little stems, and either when in full 
bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. Give some 
protection the first winter so that they become acclimated before 
receiving a check. Semi-shady location.
