Coen ae - or _Achisionene 
for Your Garden 
K NOWN also as the “Foxtail Lily,” ‘Desert-Candle” or “Giant Asphodel” 
they are with the exception of the variety Himalaicus native of 
Turkestan. 
A well-grown clump of Eremuri may justly be regarded an achievement 
to be proud of. The great flower stalk, often eight feet tall and more, rises- 
from a crowded tuft of long, narrow leaves, and is crowned by a flower 
spike two to three feet long, composed of closely set bell-shaped flowers, 
star-like in effect, in soft tones of rose, yellow, salmon and white. 
When the gigantic flowering is over, the plant disappears entirely, but 
reappears very early in the spring, when it is advisable to protect the 
young flower spike from late frosts. Such protection is most important. 
To fill the great bare space left when the plants go to rest, Gypsophilas- 
may be planted near and kept staked until the Eremuri die down, when 
they may be allowed to fall forward in their place. Some of our clients 
have planted them most successfully on the north side of evergreens. 
It has not been until this year that the finest varieties of these garden- 
aristocrats have become more reasonably priced. Plant a few clumps in 
your garden. They will give your hardy border character at a time of the 
year when flowers of the heights of Eremuri are absent in your garden. 
CULTURE: These plants enjoy a rich soil with an admixture of sharp sand 
and well-drained sunny location. Cover top of root crown with 5 inches of 
soil. In winter a mulch of wood ashes over the crown is a safeguard, or a 
box may be filled with leaves and inverted over it.

wm SOCHEEPERS’ BULB FOOD 
For LILIES, DELPHINIUM, EREMURI, TULIPS, NARCISSI 
IRISES, and all other bulbous plants 

V E have been asked by many friends to tell them what sort of plant food we use in growing our choice 
bulbs. We told them we had a special formula that gave health and long lI:fe to these plants. A few 
prevailed upon us to make up a quantity and let them try it in their own gardens. We did. 
The extraordinary success that these gardeners met with and the enthusiasm resulting from it have encour- 
aged us to offer all our friends and patrons a chance to use the very same plant food in their attempts at 
producing healthy, luxuriant flowers with strong stems and exquisite colorings. 
And so we present this opportunity for you to order some of SCHEEPERS’ BULB FOOD and we recommend 
that you try it with your next planting. It is almost entirely composed of organic matter and may be used with 
absolute safety in connection with the planting of bulbs at any time, in any soil or with any other plants. It is 
also economical—as a teaspoonful for each bulb is the average requirement. 
We are sure that if you take advantage of this offer you will find it a very happy investment.
