Eremurus Robustus. 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.)
