Lilium—Summer-Flowering Lilies 
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. The varieties that should be 
planted in the autumn, are offered in our autumn catalog.
