LILIUM AURATUM, 



THE GRANDEST OF ALL THE LILIES. 



Producing its 



Large, Delightfully Fragrant Flowers 

 in Abundance. 



LILIES 



are pre-eminently the grandest of all hardy bulb- 

 ous plants. What can exceed in beauty and de- 

 licious fragrance the large, symmetrical flowers 

 of Auratum, or the smaller but scarcely less 

 beautiful ones of Rubrum or Roseum, and 

 the spotlessly pure white blossoms of Longi- 

 florum and Harrisi, or of that old favorite, 

 produced in such profusion, Candidum? 



All of the species named are perfectly 

 hardy. L. Candidum should be planted in 

 September or early in October, in deep, rich 

 sandy soil, covering the bulbs about 3 inches. 

 The Japanese sorts should be planted in Novem- 

 ber, covering the bulbs about 9 inches. Should 

 the winter prove severe, protect the bulbs with 

 a light covering of straw or.Iong manure, to be 

 removed early in the spring. 



Auratum. 



(Golden Banded Lily.) 

 The flowers are pure white, with a gold band 

 through the center of each petal, and beautifully- 

 spotted, chocolate crimson, continuing in bloom 

 from June to October, and delightfully fragrant.
