Crone Goxtail Liltes 
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, like 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 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. 
SHELFORD HYBRID EREMURUS IN PASTEL SHADES

Beautiful, tall hardy hybrids, the inflorescence is 3 feet long, studded with myriads 
of coppery pink, orange, pale yellow and pink flowers. Rare and richly colored. They 
grow to an average height of 6 feet. For garden planting as well as for cutting these 
hybrids are superb. They make a stunning show in the garden as well as cut flowers 
indoors, lasting fully three weeks in water. .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 very low, enabling you to do this.

GIANT EREMURUS 
Spectacular and Rare Garden Plants 
Elwesianus albus Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Pure white flowers similar in form and height to Robustus. A magnificent species 
growing easily 7 feet tall. This, as well as all other Eremurus, is produced from 
seed which results in slight variation of tints and shadings. 
Robustus Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Light rosy pink flowers grow on stems 6 to 8 feet tall. One-third to one-half of 
the stem is covered with sparkling, small cuplike flowers. This is one of the giants 
of the family, easily grown and lasts from year to year. Giant roots producing 
One or more spikes. 
Himalaicus Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
A veritable giant. It is a simple matter to grow flower stalks 7 to 9 feet tall on 
this variety. The rigid spikes are covered with waxy white, cuplike flowers with 
golden anthers and remain in bloom four weeks or more. We have withheld 
Himalaicus from sale for several years because we wanted to sell this plant in 
quantity and at a popular price. With reasonable care they will flower for you 
ten years or more without the need of transplanting. We can now offer giant 
flowering roots at the above ridiculously low price. 
im-Rob Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
This tremendous flower is the result of a cross between Himalaicus and Robustus. 
Its 7- to 9-foot flower spikes are studded with shiny cuplike flowers which vary 
from pale to deep pink, the flowers lasting four weeks and longer. As in the 
case of Himalaicus we did not offer this variety for sale until a large stock was 
first available. Here really is something outstanding for your garden at a price 
never before possible. With little care they will flower easily for ten years or 
more. We offer giant-flowering roots.
