RDY LILIES 
FOR EALL PLANTING 
[ees pe Lilies are better for fall planting, but Many varieties 
of Japanese Lilies do not arrive from Japan before the 
ground freezes up. There 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 tl: -y 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 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. They 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, roo for $8, 250 for $17, 500 for $30, 1,000 for $5c,
