LILIUM CANDIDUM 
THE FINEST HARDY LILY THAT GROWS 
This is one of the oldest, loveliest and best-known Lilies. The flowers, of which 
there are three to twenty on each stem, are snow-white, with heavy yellow stamens and 
of the most delightful fragrance. It is hardy, and will thrive in any ordinary garden 
soil, preferring a position where it can get plenty of light and air. Blooms in the open 
ground about June 20. We recommend early planting of this Lily, as it makes its 
leaf-growth in fall, and thus prepares itself for early blooming. The bulbs which we 
offer are of an improved type over those usually sold, the flowers being larger and the 
petals thicker, which makes it more lasting.
