DY LILIES 
ALL, PLANTING 
D> aN LL Lilies are better for Fall planting, but many varieties 
of Japanese Lilies do not arrive from Japan before the 
ground freezes up. [here is one method, however, by which 
they can be planted late in November or in De- 
cember, and that is to cover the ground in which 
they are to be planted before it freezes with 8 to 
12 inches of stable manure. This will prevent 
the ground from freezing, and the manure can be 
removed and the Lilies planted upon their arrival. We 
will not deliver until Spring any varieties of Lilies 
which do not arrive until after hard freezing 
weather, unless instructed otherwise. We repack in 
sand Lilies arriving too late for fall delivery and store them 
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 do not know it. Either 
in the garden or for naturalizing it cannot be surpassed. In good 
soil it will grow eight feet high and produce twenty to thirty of its 
beautiful orange-red flowers in July, when bloom in the garden is 
not over plentiful. For vigor and reliability they are unequaled. 
Ten years ago we planted several hundred in a rough part of the 
grounds of one of our customers. [hey have been allowed to take 
care of themselves ever since and take their chance with the grass 
and other wild plants that have tried to crowd them out, but there were 
more of them, and they were finer this season than ever before. We 
have secured a very large stock of first-class bulbs, which we offer at specially 
low prices for immediate delivery. Extra selected bulbs, 12 for $1.50, 25 for 
$2.50, 100 for $8, 250 for $17, 500 for $30, 1,000 for $55.
