The Best Hardy Lilies 



■.^, 



These beautiful Lilies are quite hardy ; plant them four or five inches deep and give them a .xxght covering of 

 leaves or litter before the ground is deeply frozen. They should not be disturbed but left to grovy on from year to year.

 fore October and November (the best time to plant them).

LILY 



OF THE 



VALLEY 









Its beautiful sprays of lovely pure white 

 bell-shaped flowers are always greatly ad- 

 mired. It Is perfectly hardy, does not object to 

 shade and will do well in any odd corner you bap- 

 pen to have, but will of course give finer flowers and 

 more of them when given good. ^A^JiBll-prepaJed ground, 

 and partial shade; they are entirely hardy and will increase 

 in number and beauty from year to year. In house or conserv- 

 atory a half dozen roots in a 4-incli pot, kept cool awhile and 

 then given light and moisture, will soon produce an abundance of 

 lovely fragrant flowers. Price, strong flowering roots, delivered free in 

 U. S., 3 for 15c.; 13 for 60c.; 35 roots, 1 bundle, 75c.; 100 roots, 93.00. 



NOTE— LILY OF THE VALLEY is one of the most useful pure white flowers 

 for Winter forcing and is grown in Immense quantities in all the larger cities for the 

 Holiday Trade. They last a long time when cut, and are particularly beautiful when 

 colonized in large patches in partially shaded places about the lawn, and being entirely 

 hardy, will mostly take care of themselves without much attention, (Ready in November.)
