remurus 
A noble group of hardy plants which is just finding its way into the American gar- 
dens from the Himalayas. The enormous, stately flower stalks, often 6 to 10 feet 
tall, rise majestically from a tuft of long narrow leaves and are crowned by flower 
spikes 2 to 3 feet long. These spikes are composed of hundreds of closely set star-like 
flowers of beautiful shades of rose, yellow, bronze and white. 
Eremurus should be planted in the early Fall, four inches deep. They enjoy a well- 
drained rich soil and a sunny location, and may be left undisturbed for years. 
Although hardy they should have a heavy mulch of salt hay or leaves the first year 
after planting. When fully established a mulch of old cow manure is sufficient. 
When flowering time is over, the plant disappears entirely, but reappears very early 
in the Spring, when it is advisable to place a paper bag or flower pot over the young 
crown to protect it from late frost.
