Spring-Howering Bulbs to Plant This Fall 
Eremurus + Foxtail Lilies 
This no6le and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan 
fs 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 
Toam 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 
ung shoots, which start early and are liable to be 
aanced b late frosts. It produces a tall, majestic 
flower stalle which risés 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. Excellent for 
cut-flowers indoors, lasting fully three weeks in 
water. 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.
