EREMURUS robustus. When well established in congenial soil, is a most 
stately and beautiful plant. In this climate I have always given it protection 
from frost. It should attain a height of 8 or 9 feet when of mature age, and 
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.. . so
