R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. SDMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 



HARDY LILIES. 



The increased production of many varieties of these in Japan has greatly 

 reduced their cost, and in consequence their use has become very general. 



It is our opinion that we should plant the bulbs much deeper than we have 

 done heretofore. While traveling in Japan, we found that the bulbs of the 

 wild Lilies were usually twelve to eighteen inches below the surface, and we 

 gathered the finest flowers from specimens growing on mountains of decaying 

 lava where they had abundant rainfall and ample drainage. We believe that 

 varieties like Auratum and Specioxum -would be favored by being set ten or 

 twelve inches deep and would be less affected by frost and drought. The beds 

 should be thoroughly covered with leaves or litter during the winter. 



Our Autumn Catalogue contains a complete list of hardy lilies, most of which 

 can be supplied in spring if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the 

 early flowering sorts. 



If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each.
