each; P., 18 cts. 
each. Seeds,6c.

E. Ritro. Is a much 
more showy 
plant, but not so 
tall. The blue, 
glob e - s h a p e d 
flowers are fine. 
It is not so liable 
to spread from 
seed with me as 
the first, which, 
to keep it in 
bounds, should 
not be allowed 
to scatter its 
seed. N., 15 cts. 
each; P., 18 cts. 
each. Seeds, 6c. 
per pkt. 
EPIMEDIUM. Barrbnwort. Well suited to rock 
work in full sun, and should be treated to a 
compost of fresh loam and peat.

cies from tho Himalaya mountains. All the 
species of Eremurus better be set in late sum¬ 
mer or autumn. N., $2 each; P., $2.25 each. 
E. robustus. When well established in congenial 
soil is a most stately and beautiful plant. In 
this climate 1 have always given it protection 
from frost. It should attain a height of 8 or 0 
feet when of mature age, and its long raceme of 
peach-colored flowers is as fine as one could wish. 
It needs a soil that is moist but well drained, 
composed of part sand or a good loam. Should be 
planted in autumn. N., $2.50 each ; P., $2.75 each.
