EREMURUS 
A noble group of hardy plants from the Himalayas. The 
enormous, stately flower stalks, often 6 to 10 feet tall, rise 
majestically from a tuft of long narrow leaves and are 
crowned by flower spikes 2 to 3 feet long. These spikes 
are composed of hundreds of closely set, starlike flowers in 
beautiful shades of rose, yellow, bronze and white. 
Eremurus should be planted in the early fall, 4 inches 
deep. They enjoy a well-drained, rich soil and a sunny loca- 
tion, and may be left undisturbed for years. Although per- 
fectly hardy, they should have a heavy mulch of salt hay or 
leaves the first year after planting. When fully established, 
a mulch of old cow manure is sufficient. When flowering 
time is over, the plant disappears entirely, but reappears 
very early in the spring, when it is advisable to place a paper 
bag or flower pot over the young crown to protect it from 
late frost.

AYACINGHS 
In beds or borders. Hyacinths should be planted 4 
inches deep from the crown of the bulb to the surface of 
the soil or less, according to size, and about 6 inches apart 
or more, according to the number of bulbs available for a 
given space. The soil should be made moderately firm. 
After planting, the beds must be mulched with litter as a 
protection against severe weather. All varieties listed are 
suitable for both forcing and outdoor planting. For outdoor 
beds or borders, first-size bulbs produce flowers less top- 
heavy than those from exhibition bulbs. 
Culture in pots. The pots for all bulbs should be well 
drained, the soil made moderately firm, and a little sharp 
sand dusted under the base of each bulb; then add more
