AUTUMN CROCUS 
The autumn crocus are delightful flowering bulbs. They should he 
planted as early as they can be secured. Late August and early September 
is the best time to plant them. They will flower without being planted, the 
same as the Colchicums, but if you value them as garden plants, this prac- 
tice weakens them. They are exquisite planted in groups or drifts of twelve 
or more. Cover corms three inches deep, two inches apart, in the full sun.

Whereas we specialize in everything that is miniature, dwarf trees, 
shrubs, rock plants and Alpines, we have a few Foxtail Lilies which are 
anything but dwarf. We have a few cf these strikingly beautiful, stately 
and remarkable plants from Central Asia which flower in June and July. 
Known as HEremuris, they are the monarch of flowering bulbous plants. 
None can equal their aristocratic splendor. Their towering spikes on well 
established plants, reach five to ten feet in height, with a flowering porticn 
of two to three feet of starry flowers. They bloom from the bottom up. 
Full cultural requirements are given with each order. Supply of these is 
very limited. |

This is the reigning monarch of the race, surpassing them all in height.

einer ono beauty, and will create a mental picture you will long re- 
ember.
