Cremurus - oxtail Lilies 
A noble family of hardy bulbous plants, most spectacular and desirable for stately and 
colorful groups in hardy plant borders. They are perfectly hardy, and when well established, 
produce giant flower spikes, tike huge Hyacinths, attaining a height of from 5 to 8 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 
i eautiful the vacant space, or the vacant space may be satisfactorily covered with Gypsophila Flamingo. 

A light mulching is advised as a winter protection in the very coldest parts of the country.
