EREMURUS oe fs 
True aristocrats of the garden are the Eremur- 
us or Foxtail Lilies. Coming as they do from 
the desert region of Turkestan, these Desert 
Candles are always objects of curiosity in 
American gardens. They are hardy and de- 
pendable, making a spectacular show from late 
May through June, and they come back year 
after year. Plant 6 inches deep im rich, porous, 
loamy soil. They require sunny, well-drained 
locations. They are best planted in the fall, and 
then mulched over winter with straw or any 
other material of similar nature. The flower 
spikes, often 6 or more feet tall, rise like great 
asparagus tips from a mass of yucca-like foliage. 
The roots multiply rapidly, and clumps of 
Desert Candles make an imposing mass in the 
shrubbery border or the perennial garden. The 
foliage disappears after the flowers, and annuals 
may be planted close to them to fill the vacant 
space. They are much more effective when 
planted in groups of not Jess than three, and more 
whenever possible. It is no wonder these plants 
are expensive when you consider that it takes 
five years to grow one to blooming size. Those 
we offer are five years old or more, and are of 
blooming size.

AMARYLLIS — 
AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 
Nothing will give the amateur greater pleasure 
than Amaryllis for growing in the house as 
well as m the garden. These giant-flowering 
bulbs produce magnificent blossoms with the 
least possible care and trouble. Planted in a 
pot in the early winter, they will bloom in about 
six to eight weeks. Bulbs may be kept dormant 
and planted a week or ten days apart, so as to 
produce a succession of bloom throughout the 
entire winter. In the garden they may be planted 
during March, April and May, depending upon 
locality, and they will bloom during June and 
July as easily as Gladiolus. The bulbs throw a 
vigorous stem with four to six gigantic blooms, 
ranging in color from pure white with varied 
markings of rose, red and crimson to the richest 
self colors such as scarlet, crimson and bright 
red. From November until April we can supply 
bulbs guaranteed to bloom.
