CYPRIPEDIUMS 
(Native Orchids) 
Charming subjects for planting in acid soil and 
.semi-shade. Fine for naturalizing.

one large, mauve-pink blossom with contrasting 
twisted sepals. It may be gently forced and does 
well in pots.

DAPHNE CNEORUM 
(Garland Flower) 
A most desirable plant for the rock garden. 
These shrubs are of spreading habit and do not 
grow over 8 to 12 inches high, producing deli¬ 
cately perfumed rose-pink blossoms. The flowers 
completely cover the plant not only in spring but 
again in early autumn. As an edging plant in front 
of evergreens or shrubs it is unequaled. 
Prices: Plants 8 to 10 inches in diameter, se¬ 
curely packed, parcels post paid, 3 for $3.50; not 
less than 3 plants sold. Packed balled and bur- 
lapped, by express, charges collect, $12.00 per

ERANTHIS HYEMALIS 
(Winter Aconite)

yellow flowers, produced in early spring on stems 
about 6 inches high. Excellent for naturalizing in 
half shady positions. 
50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $32.00 per 1000. 
EREMURUS 
(Foxtail Lily or King’s Spear) 
A noble family of hardy plants, most delightful 
and desirable for stately and colorful groups in 
large plant borders and shrubberies. They are per¬ 
fectly hardy, and when well established, produce 
dozens of giant flower spikes, like huge Hyacinths, 
attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, the flower 
spikes (comprising several hundred flowers) being 
from 2 to 3 feet long. They are best planted in 
early fall and thrive in any sunny, well-drained 
border. They should be planted in early fall only, 
as it is dangerous to disturb them in spring, when 
they make an early growth. These wonderful, 
gigantic flowering plants do not require a great 
depth of soil, as the fleshy roots spread outwards. 
The plant disappears above ground after flowering 
and annuals may be planted close to them to fill 
the vacant space. A mulching of wood ashes is 
advised as a winter protection for the crowns and 
when the flower spikes appear in early spring a 
slight protection from the late frosts is necessary. 
We would recommend the Ever Ready Plant Pro¬ 
tector, made of waterproof paper. 
The following list includes some of the finest 
and rarest in commerce, flowering in various 
months, as indicated, in spring and early summer.
