Lilies are easy to grow in any average garden soil. They 

 require good drainage and will live for many years as they 

 are hardy and permanent. The varieties which we list are 

 particularly showy and vigorous. It is important, however, 

 that you follow the suggestions given as to the depth of 

 planting to insure a fine display of flowers for many years to 

 come. We offer sound, well graded bulbs of large blooming 

 size, though some of the varieties have smaller bulbs than 

 others. All are guaranteed to give satisfaction. 



72B26 Golden 

 Banded Lily

(Auratum platyphyllum) This is a great favorite of all 

 gardeners. It is a wonderful variety, first found on sacred 

 Mt. Fujy in Japan. It has large white flowers attractively 

 splashed with bright crimson. The beauty of the flowers is 

 enhanced by a broad golden band running through the 

 midrib of each flower petal. It blooms from July until 

 September and will grow from 3 to 6 ft. tall. Cover the bulb 

 with 12 in. of fine soil. Does well in sun or in semi shade.

 attractively spotted with brown. This splendid Lily looks
