Wayside Gardens 
Cremurus - Goxtail Liltes 
A noble family of hardy bulbous plants, most delightful and desirable for stately and 
colorful groups in hardy plant borders. They are perfectly hardy, and when well estab- 
lished, produce giant flower spikes, like huge Hyacinths, attaining a height of from 2 to 
4 feet long. They thrive in any sunny, well-drained border, and should be planted in 
early fall. 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 a 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. Our price is low 
to enable you to do this.
