EREMURUS 
These beautiful Foxtail Lilies are now 
obtainable at a moderate price. In very early 
spring the leaves are produced in dense 
rosettes, from which graceful, sturdy stems 
rise 6 to 10 feet high. These flower stalks are 
clothed for half their length with closely set 
starry blooms which last over three weeks. 
By selecting early and late varieties you will 
have blooms from late May until end of July. 
Culture. Good drainage and a sunny lo¬ 
cation are essential features. They prefer a 
deep, sandy loam to which has been added a 
liberal quantity of well-rotted cow-manure. 
Cover the top of the root-crown with 5 inches 
of soil. A sprinkling of rough coal-ashes or 
small clinkers pressed around the crown will 
facilitate drainage. The plant dies down 
shortly after blooming, and in early spring 
new growth appears which should be pro¬ 
tected with salt hay or litter.
