Some Splendid Liliums for Autumn Planting 



The amateur gardener who prides herself or himself on their garden appreciates the value of planning ahead. Among the many 

 bulbous plants for planting in the Autumn for Spring and Summer flowering is the Lily. Lilium Candidum or Madonna Lily 

 blooms most seasons early in June with the Larkspurs, and the later blooming Lilies such as Auratum, Speciosum Magnificum 

 and Speciosum Album, do best if planted in the fall of the year. Lilium Candidum are grown for us in France and arrive in 

 this country about September first and should be planted by Oct. 15th. Lilium Auratum and the two varieties of Speciosums 

 are grown in Japan. They are later maturing and usually arrive in this country about December first. It is advisable to cover 

 the beds or borders with leaves or litter to keep out the frost so that they may be planted when they arrive. 



LILIUM CANDIDUM 



{Madonna Lilies) 

 The favorite Lilies of the old-fashioned 

 garden; produce strong, stiff stems, 

 studded with a mass of pure, glistening 

 whi';s flowers. They are splendid for the 

 flower border and bloom during early 

 June.

 planting among Rhododendrons or other 

 herbaceous plants in the hardy border 

 where the lower portions of the plant are 

 shaded from the hot sun. They bloom
