and would be less affected by frost and drought. The beds should be thoroughly covered with leaves or litter during the Winter. 
e Our Autumn Catalogue contains a complete list of hardy Lilies, most of which can be supplied in Spring until May first, if desired. We recommend Fall plant- 
ing for all the early flowering sorts. 
If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each.
