EREMURUS OR FOXTAIL LILY 
The majestic Desert Lily, with magnificent 
flower spikes that bear hundreds of bright star¬ 
shaped blossoms, pink, rose, primrose, orange, 
yellow or copper. Grows eventually four to eight 
feet ’tall. Fully hardy, but mulch a bit to pre¬ 
vent too early growth in the spring. Spectacu¬ 
lar in the border. I offer sturdy one-year seed¬ 
ling roots that may begin to flower, if grown 
thriftily, in third year from transplanting. Avail¬ 
able in mixture only, finest possible color range, 
but no colors can be supplied separately. 3 for 
40c; 9 for $1.00; 25 for $2.50. 
PEERLESS TULIPS 
This is the same wonderful trial ground mix¬ 
ture of long-stemmed Tulips that has pleased so 
many of my customers over and over again in the 
past, but this season I have added several new 
kinds, increasing the already glorious color 
range. Ie includes only the tall-growing Tulips 
that flower so brilliantly in May and early June. 
Finest named sorts, grown separately, have been 
added and blended to give so far as may be 
possible, a balance of all Tulip hues and color 
tones, cream, primrose, and go.uen yellow to 
bronze, orange and coffee brown; from palest 
flesh, through salmon pink, to strawberry, rose, 
scarlet and maroon. Then there are all the soft 
lavender, clear blue, smoky violet and rich purple 
varieties, beside others fantastically marbled and 
striped. American grown stock, size “B”, a 
little smaller than the imported, but sound solid 
bulbs that will bloom beautifully and persist 
long. I am proud of this blend. 10 for 40c; 20 
for 75c; 45 for $1.50; 100 for $3.00. 
LET THESE RUN WILD 
To spatter the meadow with beauty, road-side, 
woods-edge, or lawn, plant Grape Hyacinth and 
hardy Star of Bethlehem. The bulbs are fully 
hardy, will compete with grass on its own terms, 
yet the foliage dies down not long after blooming 
time, and there is no further sign of the bulbs 
until the next spring. The Grape Hyacinths 
flower in April, the Star of Bethlehem a bit 
later, over-lapping in season, and following, its 
sky-hued friend. Try them, too, in the rockery, 
or Muscari may be forced. 
MUSCARI HEAVENLY BLUE—An absolutely 
hardy Grape Hyacinth that will give great 
splashes of sheer blue for many radiant spring 
weeks. Just about the easiest of flowering bulbs, 
yet few will give greater pleasure. Sound bulbs, 
size “B”, should flower well first season. 10 for 
35c; 25 for 75c; 100 for $2.50; 250 for $5.50. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBEL LATUM—The Hardy 
Star of Bethlehem. Enormous quantities of pure 
white up-facing flowers in robustly branching 
umbels. Dwarf. Very pretty. A rugged in¬ 
dividualist that needs no fostering care. 10 for 
40c; 25 for 90c. 
NAMES OF FRIENDS. If you have two or 
three garden-loving friends, and care to send me 
their full names and addresses, it will be an ap¬ 
preciated favor that I shall try to repay in filling 
ybur order.
