ZElnUZL 
(Foxtail Lilies) 
THE FINEST VARIETIES of these garden aristocrats have now become more reasonably priced. Plant a few 
clumps in your garden. They will give your hardy border character at a time of the year when flowers of the 
heights of the eremuri are absent in your garden. 
CULTURE: These plants enjoy a rich soil with a mixture of sharp sand and well drained sunny location. Cover 
top of root crown with 5 inches of soil. In winter a mulch of wood ashes over the crown is a safeguard, or a box 
may be filled with leaves and inverted over it.
