LILIUMS 



SPECIAL NOTICE. — L% bulbs will be forioarded ,is 

 thei/ m<it'irc. An ii rule ire can furnish Caudidum and 

 Harrissi from Auyust on. Canadense, Loncjifinrnm, 

 Superbum and Tenuifolium from end of September on. 

 The entire balance in late October and Xoremhcr. 



The genus embraces a vast number of species ; we, however, 

 confine our list to such as are of easy culture, aud give the best 

 results with the least care. It is in the hardy border, or among 

 shrubbery, that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the 

 shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their 

 welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at lea.st three times their 

 own depth, and when hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves 

 or litter should be placed over them; this should be removed in 

 the S|)ring, when danger from hard frost is past. When grown 

 in pots it is advisable to begin with the .'•inallest pot in which 

 the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the 

 plant progresses. Our new book, " Dreer's Hints on the 

 Growing of Bulbs," contains very full directions on the growing 

 of Hardy I,ilie>. Price, 50 cts. Copies free to customers who 

 a.sk for it when ordering.
