I.II^IU:fI (Lily) 

 All herbaceous borders should have a few Lilies scattered through them. The sorts offered below can be planted with ex- 

 cellent results during the early spring months. It is in the hardy border that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the shade 

 of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their welfare; other varieties should be planted in the autumn, and are 

 offered in our autumn catalogue.
