NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1917 



The Best Hardy Lilies 



I'hcse beautiful Lilies are 

 quite hardy. Plant them 4 to 5 

 inches deep, and give them a 

 light coveruig of leaves or litter 

 before the ground is deeply 

 frozen. They should be left to 

 grow on from year to year. 



Most Lily bulbs, being of late 

 maturity, are not ready before 

 November and December — the 

 best time to plant them. Prepare 

 your ground early and cover to 

 prevent freezing until bulbs 

 arrive. Order now. 



"A garden is earth's hymn oj praise 

 to Heaven, 

 Sung every season in some changing 



tune. 

 Where chords are colors, and where 



odors sweet 

 Are tender symphonies."
