HENDERSON’S HARDY LILIES 
Bring the Romance of the Ages to Your Garden 
Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various species 
maintain a continuous and unbroken succession in the shrubbery 
border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of fate maturity, are not ready 
before October, November and December (the best time to plant 
them). Where the ground is liable to freeze up before the late 
lilies arrive it should be mulched with 6 to 8 inches of leaves or 
manure to keep it from freezing, so the bulbs may be planted on 
arrival. 
Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) The flowers are pure 
white, thickly studded with crimson spots, while through the centre of 
each petal runs a clear golden band. Fully expanded the flowers 
measure nearly a foot across and possess a most delicious fragrance. 
Season of bloom from July to Octobe: 3 to 5 feet. (See illustration.)
