Hardy Perennials.

Funkia, or Plantain Lily. 
EPI MEDIUM IMevium. Has white, or nearly white flowers ; very desirable . $o 
E. sulphureum. Has sulphur-tinted flowers, and seems with me as hardy as 
any. May. 
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 
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..1 
E. spectabilis (E . caucasicas) . Better set in autumn .

western North America. It is a fine, hand¬ 
some-perennial, apparently quite hardy, and bears plenty of good-sized heads 
of purple flowers; 6 to 12 inches high ; in bloom during late summer or 
autumn. 
ERYNGIUM amethystinum. Bias heads of amethyst-blue flowers, which are 
very handsome. It is inclined to spread from seed, and, therefore, should not 
be allowed to scatter its seeds. This is easily guarded against by cutting 
back after blooming season. c .".10 
ERYSIMUM ochroleucum. Handsome, bright yellow flowers in early spring . 
E. rupestre (E. pule he l linn). A fine yellow-flowered plant, forming dense 
masses of dark green foliage, and when in bloom, covered with bright flowers. 
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 attractive little natives. For cutting or for decoration in the border, it is 
a useful plant, and can not be spared. Summer. 
FUNKIA (Plantain Lily). A genus of hardy herbaceous perennials, with good 
foliage and often handsome flowers. Well suited to decorate the lawn, or for 
planting the borders of shrubbery, or in rockwork. Before planting, work the 
ground to a good depth,mixing in a generous supply of well-composted manure. 
F- lancifolia (E. undulata). Japan plant, with white flowers and lance¬ 
shaped leaves. August.30
