EREMURUS 
This noble and rare bulbous plant from Turke- 
stan 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 produces 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.

GIANT FREESIAS 
Freesias are easy to grow and everyone should 
have several pots of these deliciously fragrant 
flowers whose scent will spread through the house. 
Our bulbs are dug late, are thoroughly ripened 
and should not be planted before late September 
or early October. 
Plant them close together in good potting 
soil, water well, and store the pots outside until

feedings of S. & W. Bulb Fertilizer will increase 
the size of the flowers and enrich their colors.

ery when the snow has melted. They will do

shrubs. If undisturbed and the tops allowed 
to ripen each season they will last for years.
