HARDY LILIES for the GARDEN. 



Special Notice. Many of the late flowering Lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to save our customers the annoyance and expense 

 of shipments as they mature, we have decided to send all the early varieties approximately September 15-30. The late sorts, being subject to delays of steamers, 

 etc., will be forwarded early in November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We advise the preparation of the Lily-beds or borders early in Autumn, cover- 

 ing them with four to six inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The late sorts comprise the following: Auralum, 

 Batemanni, Henryi and Speciosum. Lilium Candidum will be shipped on arrival, as it is essential that they should make a Fall growth to insure perfect blooms 

 the next season.
