ERANTHIS (Winter Aconite) 
They are among the earliest of the spring flowers. Delightful golden 
buttercups nestle on bright green, finely cut foliage, bringing joy in the cool 
and frosty days of spring. Suitable for the rock garden, under tall trees and 
shrubs. Always plant in drifts for best effect. The tops of the tubers are not 
always recognizable. When in doubt, plant on their sides, 2” deep, 2” to 3” 
apart. They are extremely effective associated with Scilla Spring Beauty, 
Crocus Species, Chionodoxas. It is important to order bulbs early and plant 
upon receipt because the little tubers lose their vitality quickly.

passable beauty, very free flowering. Deep yellow with bronze shading

EREMURUS (Fox-tail Lilies) 
Although we specialize in everything that is miniature, dwarf trees, shrubs, 
rock plants and Alpines, we have a few Fox-tail Lilies which are anything but 
dwarf. They are from Central Asia and flower in June and July. Known as 
Eremurus, they are the monarch of flowering bulbous plants. None can equal 
their aristocratic splendor. They produce towering spikes on well established 
plants which reach five to ten feet in height, with a flowering portion 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. 
E. Bungei — Beautiful, clear lemon yellow star-shaped flowers are produced 
on gigantic spikes of five feet in height on established plants, remain- 
ing in flower for a full month. Their foliage is a glorious green, 
very narrow; 18” long. $1.25 each 3 for $3.25 
E. Himalaicus — This variety will produce a spike up to seven feet on a well 
established plant. It is covered with white starry flowers on a good 
two feet of the stem. The leaves are pale green and very abundant. 
$2.50 each 3 for $6.50 
E. robustus — The reigning monarch of the race, surpassing them all in 
height. A well established plant several years old is capable of 
sending its towering spikes eight to ten feet high. It is robust, in 
the full meaning of the word. Flowers are rosy pink. If you should 
suddenly come upon three of these giants in the back of the flower 
border, the effect would be one of breathtaking beauty, creating a 
picture you will long remember. $1.75 each 3 for $4.50 
2 ERYTHRONIUM (Dog Tooth Violet) 
This is a very interesting genus of bulbous plants, flowering in the spring. 
They adapt themselves readily for naturalizing. They are at home at the edge 
of woodland, in shady spots in a rock garden, or that part of the shady border 
that always looked poor in the spring. Plant 5” deep, 3” apart. Likes soil 
that contains leaf mold. Plant at once, do not delay for one day. 
EK. dens-canis albus — Creamy white flowers with chocolate-zoned centers. 
Richly mottled foliage; 4” to 6” tall. $.60 per 10 $5.00 per 100
