Giant-flowering Crocus 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS 
Winter Aconite 
The golden blossoms resting on an emerald-green cushion of 
leaves are a charming spring picture. The foliage remains long 
after the flowers, making the plant especially valuable in moist, 
shady situations. Plant firmly, 2 inches deep, about 15 bulbs to 
the square foot. 40 cts. for 10; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000 
EREMURUS 
This noble and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan is one of the 
choicest subjects for the permanent hardy border. It thrives best 
in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, and prefers a deep 
sandy loam to which has been added a liberal quantity of well- 
rotted cow manure. A covering of 4 to 5 inches of leaves or litter 
will be beneficial and will save the young shoots, which start early, 
and are liable to be damaged by late frosts. It produces a tall, 
majestic flower-stalk which rises from a crowded tuft of narrow 
leaves and is crowned by a flower-spike 2 to 3 feet long, composed 
of closely set, bell-shaped flowers which are quite star-like in 
effect. The colors are tones of rose, yellow, and white.
