1 EREMURUS or FOXTAIL LILY 3 
By mid-June the magnificent spike of 
Eremurus robustus that has so strikingly 
accented the border, is losing its hundreds 
of airy, pink star-blossom, but the nearby 
Eremurus Bungei will be opening the rich 
gold of its pyramid spires and the lower 
buds of the Shelford Hybrids will show 
varied lovely tones of apricot, salmon and 
coppery orange. Eremurus is of full win- 
ter hardiness here, and there is little diffi- 
culty to the growing of it, providing seed 
is sown so that it has long exposure to 
cold. The roots go fully dormant in sum- 
mer. Seedlings take at least three years to 
reach flowering size; but they are long 
lived, once happily established. ‘‘yt’ cul-
