Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. Crown Eranthis Hyemalis. Erytfironium. (Dog's Tooth Violet.) Beautiful hardy plants, especially suited to moist, shady situations ; the leaves are handsomely variegated, flower stems about a foot high, bearing lily-like blos- soms of different colors ; does well in pots ; mixed varieties. 20 cts. per doz.; $ per 100. Ekemurus Roeustus. EREMURITS. 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 covering 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 im- mense 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 ; $f).00 per doz. Himalaicus. Another noble variety from the temperate Himalayan mount- ains, 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 genus. Strong-flowering roots (ready in October), each : $ per doz.
