Eremurus, Shelford Hybrids 

Cree = Foxtail Silies 
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. 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 satis 
factorily covered with Gypsophila Flamingo. A light mulching is advised as a winter 
protection in the very coldest parts of the country. 
Robustus Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
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 last from year to year. Giant roots producing one or 
more spikes.
