Cremurus = GFoxtail Soilies 
A noble family of hardy bulbous plants, most delightful and desirable 
for stately and colorful groups in hardy plant borders and in the foreground 
of shrubs. They are perfectly hardy, and when well established, produce 
dozens of giant flower spikes, like huge Hyacinths, attaining a height of 
from 6 to 8 feet, the flower spike (comprising several hundred flowers) 
being from 2 to 4 feet long. They thrive in any sunny, well-drained border, 
and should be planted in early fall. These wonderful, gigantic flowering 
roots do not require a great depth of soil, as the fleshy roots spread out- 
wards. The plant disappears above ground after flowering and annuals may 
be planted close to them to fill the vacant space, or the vacant space may 
be very satisfactorily covered with Gypsophila Flamingo. A light mulching 
is advised as q winter protection in the very coldest parts of the country. 
SHELFORD HYBRIDS IN SEPARATE SHADES 
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 three, better effects are created if planted in 
masses of six or twelve. We have made our price low to enable you to do 
this. All plants we send out are flowering size. (Color illustration, page 27.)
