LILIES. 



Most of the sorts can be supplied from October until April. 

 Besides being perfectly hardy, when planted outside this 



class of plants is admirably adapted for pot culture, when 



grown either in the greenhouse or house. They are of the 



easiest culture, and most of the varieties very fragrant.
