AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 
Nothing will give the amateur greater pleasure 
than Amaryllis for growing in the house as 
well as in 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.

EREMURUS (Foxtail Lilies) 
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 less 
than three, and more whenever possible. It eee 
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.
