Hardy Lilies for Fall Planting 



A 



tt*>*> 



LL Lilies are better for fall planting, but sometimes 

 many varieties of Japanese Lilies do not arrive before 

 the ground freezes up. There is one method, how- 

 ever, by which they can be planted late in November 

 or in December, and that is to cover the ground in which they 

 are to be planted, before it freezes, with eight or twelve inches 

 of stable manure. This will prevent the ground from freez- 

 ing, and the manure can be removed and the lilies planted 

 upon their arrival. We will not deliver any varieties of lilies 

 which do not arrive until after hard freezing weather unti 

 spring, unless instructed otherwise. We re-pack in sand lilies 

 aniving too late for fall delivery and store in a cold cellar 

 until spring, when they are delivered as early as possible. 



Lilium Superbum 



If there is a more satisfactory lily or hardy plant of any kind 

 than our splendid native Superbum Lily we don't know it. 

 Either in the garden or for naturalizing it cannot be sur- 

 passed. In good soil it will grow eight feet high and pro- 

 duce twenty to thirty of its beautiful orange-red flowers in 

 July, when bloom in the garden is not over plentiful. For 

 vigor and reliability it is unequalled. Ten years ago we planted 

 several hundred in a rough part of the grounds of one of our 

 customers. They have been allowed to take care of them- 

 selves ever since and take their chance with the grass and 

 other wild plants that have tried to crowd them out, but 

 there are more of them and they were finer this season than 

 ever before. 



We have secured a very large stock of extra selected 

 bulbs, which we offer at specially low prices for immediate 

 delivery.
