 Strong grower; very fragrant. Scarce.

Festiva maxima. (Miellez.) In some respects 

 this is yet a peerless flower —Queen of the Whites. 

 Though introduced more than fifty years ago, it 

 is almost impossible to supply the demand. Some- 

 one remarked at a great Boston show that if this 

 flower was of a recent introduction it would be 

 readily sold at $s a root. It stood well to the 

 front with all the new and beautiful candidates for 

 popular favor. It is an immense white flower with 

 drops of carmine sprinkled in the center. An 

 early bloomer and a good keeper.

 pink; very fragrant.

 lish pink, tipped with silver; very brilliant coloring; 

 fragrant, medium-large flower,

 much like Lady Bramwell, only larger and later, 

 This is one of great beauty; a good keeper, but 

 some seasons it needs shading from the hot sun. 



Meissonier. (Crousse.) Globular; b-illiant pur- 

 plish red; slightly fragrant; free bloomer; stems 

 long; habit of plant medium tall. 



Special Offer No. 2— Hardy Lilies For Fall Planting 



All Lilies are better for fall planting, but many of the varieties of Japanese Lilies do not arrive from Japan 

 until the ground becomes frozen. The method usually followed with excellent success, is to cover the 

 ground in which they are to be planted to the depth of 8 to 10 inches with stable manure; this will pre- 

 vent any of the early frosts which sometime occur late in November from entering the ground.
