The Vestal Virgins of the Garden 



Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various species main- 

 tain a continuous and unbroken succession in the shrubbery border. 

 Most Lily Bulbs (except Lilium Candidum, which are ready in Septem- 

 ber), being of late 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. 



Owing to war conditions, a few old favorites like Lilium auratum, 

 Lilium longiflorum, etc., are unobtainable this year.
