Liliums (Ltiies) 



The two varieties offered below are expected to be ready for 

 delivery late in August or early in September. Other sorts will be 

 offered in our Autumn Catalogue. 



Candidum {Annunciation or Madonna Lily). This is one of the 

 most popular of garden Lilies. The flowers pure snow-white 

 and very fragrant, borne on long stems. To succeed with it, it 

 should be planted early in the autumn; give the bulbs a light 

 dusting with powdered sulphur, and do not cover with more than 

 2 inches of soil; 3 to 4 feet; May and June. The bulbs we offer 

 are heavy, solid stock grown for us in Northern France.
