Single Bulbs of Lilies mailed free at prices given; rates 
on larger quantities do not include postage. 

The genus embraces a vast number of species; we, however, 
confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best 
results with the least care. It is in the hardy border, or among 
shrubbery, that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the 
shade of the surrounding plants which is so necessary for their 
welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their 
own depth, and when hard frost sets in 4 to 6 inches of leaves 
or litter should be placed over them; this should be removed in 
the spring, when danger from hard-frost is past. When grown 
in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest pot in which 
the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the plant 
progresses. A cool temperature suits them best, and the plants 
should be liberally watered during the period of growth and 
flowering.
