Howering Bulbs You'll Want to Plant Chis Fall 
Eremurus - Foxtail Lilies 
This noble and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan 
is one of the choicest subjects for the permanent 
hardy border. It thrives best in a well-draimed, 
sheltered, sunny position, and prefers a deep, sandy 
loam to which has been added a liberal quantity of 
well-rotted cow manure. A covering of 4 to 5 inches 
of leaves or litter will be beneficial and will save 
the young shoots, which start early and are liable 
to be damaged by late frosts. It produces a tall, 
majestic flower stalk which rises from a crowded 
tuft of narrow leaves and is crowned by a flower 
spike 2 to 3 feet long, composed of closely set, bell- 
shaped flowers which are quite star-like in effect. 
The colors are tones of rose, yellow, and white. Excel- 
lent for cut-flowers indoors, lasting fully three weeks 
in water. We suggest that they be planted in groups 
of not less than three; better effects are created if 
planted in masses of six or twelve. 
ELWESI#f ALBUS. Pure white flowers similar in 
habit and height to Robustus. Grows to the height 
of 7 feet. This, like all Eremurus, is produced 
from seed, which results in slight variation of

anthers. Height 6 to 8 ft.

Giant Freesias 
Freesias are easy to grow. Everyone should have 
several pots of these deliciously fragrant flowers 
for forcing in the house. j 
Our bulbs are dug late, are thoroughly ripened, 
and should not be planted before late September or 
early October. ; 
Plant them close together in good potting soil, 
water well, and store the pots outside until real cold 
weather, when they should be placed in a sunny 
window or the conservatory. Light feedings of 
S. & W. Co.’s Bulb Fertilizer will increase the size 
of the flowers and enrich their colors.

Fritillaria imperialis - Crown Imperials

The Crown Imperials, with their stately, grace- 
fully drooping flowers, should not be missed in any 
garden. They want a good soil, much sun, and can 
be left undisturbed for years. Must be planted as 
early as possible and have to be carefully protected

old-fashioned flower garden.

Fritillaria - Guinea-Hen Flower 
(Dutch) 
Fritillarias are excellent bulbous plants for the 
rock garden or indoor culture. One species found in 
Southern California is called Mission Bells. The 
species listed below are grown in Holland and are 
popularly known as Guinea-Hen Flower. 
MELEAGRIS. The blooming season for this lovely 
little plant is early April, just at the beginning of 
the early Daffodil season. The bell-shaped flowers 
are dwarf, pendent, reddish brown and purple, and 
curiously checkered shades on stems 12 inches 
long. They are very effective in colonies, re- 
uiring a somewhat dry situation; mvaluable for 
the rockery, for naturalizing and very lovely when 
grown in pans indoors. Use the same culture as 
for Freesia bulbs.
