the aL G TOUTLIAG Exemuus 
Eremurus 
Ovshroleuaa 
Onis 
The finest of all Iris for early summer cut 
tlowers, blooming on Long Island from June 
15th on. The flower resembles that of the 
Dutch Iris but is twice the size. As they 
resent being transplanted they do not pro- 
duce flowers the first season but after a 
few years they produce numerous stems 3 
feet in height. The plants are extremely 
hardy, though they are benefited by a pro- 
tection of old cow manure in winter. 
WHITE. $3.25 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
CREAMY YELLOW. $3.25 per doz.; $25.00 
per 100. 
LIGHT BLUE. $3.25 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 

A noble group of hardy plants which is just finding its way into the 
American gardens 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 starlike 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. 3 
When flowering time is over, the plant disappears entirely, but re- 
appears 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.
