R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 107 
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 Auraltum and Speciosum 
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 supplid in spring if desired. We recommeud fall 
planting for all the early flowering sorts.
