Fred’k H. Horsford, Charlotte, Vermont 
Echinops Ritro. 
Eremurus robustus. When well established in con¬ 
genial 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 its long raceme of 
peach-colored flowers is as line 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., $2.75 each; 
P., $3 each. 
ERIGERON glaucus. Fleabane. Comes from west¬ 
ern North America. It is a fine, handsome per¬ 
ennial, apparently quite hardy, and bears plenty 
of good-sized heads of purple flowers; G to 12 
inches high; in bloom during late summer or 
autumn. N., 15 cts. each, $1.30 per doz.; P., 
18 cts. each, $1.55 per doz. Seeds, 5 cts. per pkt. 
E. speciosus. 18 to 24 inches high, with rosy vio¬ 
let or purple flowers. A native of the North¬ 
west. N., 15 cts. each; P., 18 cts. each. 
ERYNGIUM amethystinum. Sea Holly. Has heads 
of handsome amethyst-blue flowers. It is in¬ 
clined to spread from seed, and, therefore, 
should not be allowed to scatter its seeds. This 
is guarded against by cutting back after bloom¬ 
ing. N., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; P., 18 cts. 
each, $1.40 per doz. 
ERYSIMUM ochroleucum. Alpine Wallflower. 
Handsome, bright yellow flowers in early spring. 
N., 15 cts. each, $1 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, 
$1.20 per doz. 
Echinops Ritro. More showy than the preceding, but I 
not so tall. The blue, globe-shaped 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., 
15c. each; P., 18c. each. Seeds, Gc. per pkt. 
EPIMEDIUM. Barrenwort. Well suited to rock- 
work in full sun, and should be treated to a 
compost of fresh loam and peat. 
E. alpinum. N., 20 cts. each; P., 23 cts. each. 
E. Ikerasko. N., 20 cts. each; P., 23 cts. each. 
E. macranthum (E. violciceum ). Is, perhaps, one 
of the best, and has a more robust habit than 
some. Flowers pale violet. Fine clumps, capa¬ 
ble of division. May. N., 15 cts. each; P., 18 
cts. each. 
~y var. niveum. Has white or nearly white 
flowers; very desirable. N., 15 cts. each, $1.25 
per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.55 per doz. 
E. Musschianum, var. rubrum. From Japan. Bears 
its flowers in close, short racemes. May. N., 
15 cts. each; P., 18 cts. each. 
E. pinnatum sulphureum. N., 15 cts. each; P., 18 
cts. each. 
EREMURUS Himalaicus. A grand white-flowered spe¬ 
cies from the Himalaya mountains. All the 
species of Eremurus better be set in late sum¬ 
mer or autumn. N., $2.25 each; P., $2.50 each. 
EUPHORBIA corollata. Flowering Spurge. Is a 
native which grows 2 to 3 feet high, branching 
and bearing many white bracts around the true 
flowers, which give it a floriferous appearance 
and make it one of the most delicate and attrac¬ 
tive little natives. For cutting or for decoration 
in the border it is a useful plant and cannot be 
spared. Summer. N., 12 cts. each, $1.10 per 
doz.; P., 14 cts. each, $1.20 per doz. 
FUNKIA. Plantain 
Lily, Da y 
Lily. A ge¬ 
nus of hardy 
her bac eous 
p erennials, 
with good fo¬ 
liage and of¬ 
ten handsome 
flowers. Well 
suited to dec- 
orate the 
lawn, or for 
planting in 
the borders of 
shrubbery, or 
in rock work. 
Before plant¬ 
ing, work the 
ground to a 
good depth, 
mixing in a 
supply of ma¬ 
nure.
