remurm 
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 
first year. 
Bungei Each $1 j00 
Vigorous, enormous spikes of widely expanded flowers of clear yellow. 
Six feet high.

Beautiful, delicate pink flowers, thickly set in tall, noble and stately 
spikes, 8 to 10 feet high. 
Elwesianus albus Each $1.50 
Pure white flowers similar in form and height to the preceding. A mag¬ 
nificent novelty.

flower spikes. 8 to 10 feet. 
Robustus Each $1.50 
Rosy pink flowers in a spike 3 to 4 feet long, standing on a 8- to 10- 
foot stem. One of the finest in the group. 
Shelford Hybrids Doz. $7.50 
Grand, tall hardy hybrids, the inflorescence 3 feet long, studded with 
myriads of coppery pink, orange, pale yellow, and pink flowers, shot 
with delicate bronze. Rare and richly colored. They grow to an average 
height of 7 feet. For garden planting as well as for cutting we believe 
these hybrids to be the best. They make a stunning show in the garden 
as well as indoors. For several years we have been increasing our stock 
so we could offer roots at a popular price. We suggest that they be 
planted in groups of not less than 3, better effects are created if planted 
in masses of six or a dozen. We have made our price low to enable you 
to do this. All plants we send out are flowering size. (Color illustration, 
page 43.)

remurus 
Three-Yeor-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.
