1 EREMURUS or FOXTAIL LILY 3 
Eremurus robustus that has so strikingly 
accented the border, is losing its hundreds 
of airy, pink star-blossoms, 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 va- 
ried lovely tones of apricot, salmon and 
coppery orange. Eremurus is of full winter 
hardiness here, and there is little difficulty 
to the growing of it, providing seed is sown 
so that it has long exposure to cold. The 
roots go fully dormant in summer. Seedlings 
take at least three years to reach flowering 
size; but they are long lived, once happily 
established. “‘yt’’ culture. Illustrated oppo-
