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.

fectly hardy and free from attacks of in-
