EREMURUS ' RobustUS. A noble and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan, and one of the choicest subjects for the permanent hardy border. They thrive best in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, and prefer a deep, sandy loam, to which has been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted cow manure. A cov- ering of 4 or 5 inches of leaves or litter will be beneficial and save the young shoots, which start early, and are liable to be damaged by late frosts. It produces immense flower stems, 6 to 10 feet high, bearing a dense raceme of flesh pink flowers, each nearly 2 inches across. (See cut.) Extra strong flowering roots (ready in October). $ each; $ per doz. Himalaicus. Another noble variety from the temperate Himalayan mountains, 4 to 8 feet high. Raceme nearly 2 feet long, of lovely pure white flowers, as large as a fifty-cent piece. This is perhaps the hardiest and easiest grown of this magnificent genvis. Strong flowering roots (ready in October), 75 cts. each; $ per doz. PREPARED FIBRE A perfect substitute for soil; light, clean, odorless. 60 cts. per peck; $ per bushel.
