ERANTHIS (Winter Aconite) 
In northern gardens these are the first 
bulbous flowers of the year, appearing some 
time before the snowdrops. They succeed 
almost anywhere but do especially well under 
trees where their golden, buttercup-like 
blossoms appear to splendid advantage. The 
bulbs are perishable and should be planted 
as soon as received. Once established they 
are quite permanent and are among the 
jewels of the garden.

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 pro¬ 
duces 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.
