LILIUM (Lily) 



All herbaceous borders should have a few Lilies scattered 

 through them. The sorts offered below can be planted with 

 excellent 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. 



Auratum {Golden-banded Japan Lily). Undoubtedly one of the 

 finest. Its large, graceful, fragrant flowers are composed of six 

 petals of a delicate ivory-white color, thickly studded with choco- 

 late-crimson spots, and striped through the centre a golden-yellow; 

 3 to 5 feet. July, September. Extra large-flowering bulbs, SO cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



Regale (Myriophyllum). This new variety from Western China 

 is admittedly one of the most beautiful Garden Lilies yet intro- 

 duced. It grows 3 to 5 feet high, and blooms out of doors in July. 

 It is perfectly hardy, and flourishes under very varied conditions, 

 large trumpet shaped, delicately scented flowers, which are produ ced 

 freely, are ivory white, shaded pink, tinged with canary yellow at the
