RDY LILIES 



PLANTING 



ALL Lilies are better for Fall planting, but many varieties 

 or 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 December, 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 SUPERB UM 



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 unequalled. Ten years ago we planted several hundred in 



the 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 $1.25, 25 for $2.25, 100 for $7.00, 



250 for $16.50, 500 for $27.00, 1,000 for $50.00. 



Candidum (Madonna, or Annunciation Lily). This is the old-fashioned 

 garden Lily, and one of the most beautiful. Bulbs are now ready and 

 they should be planted immediately. 12 for $1.50, 100 for $10.00.
