Eremurus 
Chionodoxa • & lory-o f-the-Sn o lv 
A mass planting forms one of the most sumptuous displays of floral 
beauty, a mass of blue and white, intense and brilliant. They bloom at the 
time of the Crocuses, producing dwarf flower spikes, bearing from I 2 to 15 
flowers of a sky-blue with a pure white heart, creating a lovely effect. 
They should be planted in the fall, 3 inches deep, about 18 bulbs to a 
square foot, in a sunny location or in half shade and in places where they 
can remain undisturbed for a number of years. The flowers will cross with 
one another and will seed themselves, forming natural colonies. All are 6 
to 7 inches high, therefore excellent in the rockery as well.

Oremurus 
A noble family of hardy plants, most delightful and desirable for stately 
and colorful groups in large plant borders and shrubberies. They are per¬ 
fectly hardy, and when well established, produce dozens of giant flower 
spikes, like huge Hyacinths, attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, the 
flower spike (comprising several hundred flowers) being from 2 to 3 feet 
long. They thrive in any sunny, well-drained border. They should be planted 
in early fall only. These wonderful, gigantic flowering plants do not re¬ 
quire a great depth of soil, as the fleshy roots spread outwards. The plant 
disappears above ground after flowering and annuals may be planted close 
to them to fill the vacant space. A light mulching is advised as a winter 
protection. 
The following list includes some of the finest and rarest in commerce, 
all flowering in July. No. 1 and No. 2 size roots not guaranteed to bloom

reniurus 
3-Year-Old Seedlings. 
During the past few years there have been many requests for Eremurus 
seed and young plants. The seed of Eremurus is difficult to germinate; we, 
therefore, never offered it because it was bound to lead to disappointment. 
Seedling roots, one or two years old, are too small for the average person 
to care for, but we are now able to offer some fine roots which are three 
years old. We know these will grow without trouble and surely are the 
same varieties as offered above. It will be well worth your while to plant 
a few of these healthy young roots for growing on.
